Jindal edges ahead of Bush in Iowa poll

Source: The Hill

Bobby Jindal, the Louisiana governor who has been relegated to the undercard debate throughout the GOP presidential race, has edged out former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in a new poll of Iowa.

Jindal scored 6 percent support in the survey from Public Policy Polling (PPP), one percentage point ahead of Bush, though within the poll’s 3.9 percent margin of error.

Still, the uptick for Jindal is broadly indicative of just how far Bush has fallen — something that has been exacerbated by his poor showing in last week’s Republican debate.

I was about to say that Jeb! is in deep doo doo if somebody as foolish as Jindal can beat him in Iowa. Now, I'm not saying that Jeb isn't a fool, but I AM saying that Bobby Jindal is an even bigger one!

I hope Poppie and Babs are freaking out; they have already given us Smirky, so they deserve to see their baby lose badly!

I DO love it!

I've been waiting on Babs to go for years but now we need them both to stay above ground a little longer. One of them dies and that will be an automatic 10 point boost for ol' Jebby

Reference was to Jindal's State of the Union response when he sounded like an actor on a preschool tv show with no other acting opportunities. "This is America! Where you can do ANYTHING!"

"lead by quitting." Or is he going to wait untill his poll numbers reach * ? On second thought I guess if he stays in he drains more money from his donors, so hell, Jebbers, why quit now?
