I think these are pretty good numbers for JRB if you assume a lot of people are saying they don't want JRB to run because they want HRC to have a clear path to the nomination. I'd be more interested in the numbers on if HRC weren't running how many would want JRB to run. Shouldn't we assume they would be higher?


DES MOINES REGISTER lead story, “IOWA POLL: 50% in Iowa say Clinton should run for president: Ryan, Huckabee get solid support for ’16 bid from GOP respondents,” by Jennifer Jacobs: “If either Paul Ryan or Hillary Clinton truly is on the fence, … some pop-the-champagne poll numbers … might encourage them. But if Rick Santorum feels confident he could win Iowa again, the new poll could burst his bubble. The Iowa Poll examined reactions … to six ‘re-runs’ — … politicians who ran for the White House in 2008 or 2012 who are being talked about again for 2016. … There’s a 30-point difference between Iowa Democrats’ attraction to another Clinton bid (88 percent) and another Biden bid (58 percent). …

“67 percent [of Republicans] say it’s a good idea for [Ryan] to run … ‘Paul Ryan is the consistently most popular Republican official in the country, no matter where you look,’ said Republican Brad Todd, a D.C.-based ad-maker. … Huckabee, winner of the 2008 Iowa caucuses, [got an almost identical] 65 percent. Both get a lot more support for a retry than does Perry (50 percent) or Santorum (48 percent), the 2012 caucuses winner.” http://goo.gl/Mqn4mF
