A new Reuters/Iposos poll finds Jeb Bush starts his presidential bid with strong name recognition but only lukewarm support from the Republican moderates whose backing he will need to capture his partys nomination.
First Read: Bushs campaign kickoff event yesterday was a reminder that no one should dismiss his potential to win the GOP presidential nomination it was enthusiastic, diverse, and perhaps the best-executed announcement to date in either party. But Jebs biggest challenge from now until the first Republican contests is convincing his party that he could win a straight Clinton-vs.-Bush contest. Right now, the polling doesnt bear that out: Recent surveys (like CNNs and Quinnipiacs) show other Republicans performing better head-to-head against Hillary than Jeb does. The perception among some conservative opinion leaders doesnt bear it out, either.
