Fox News has a poll showing that President Obama would trounce Jeb Bush.
Obama - 54 percent
Bush - 34 percent
Bush is polling at Sarah Palin numbers. Palin polls 35 percent against Obama's 56 percent. Republicans would argue that Bush has been out of the spotlight for several years. That is certainly true and Bush has repeatedly said he has no plans on running. If Bush mounted a campaign his numbers would probably spike. Palin has been in the spotlight and her numbers are a disaster. My believe is Palin is more interested in making money as a celebrity than governing.
The poll was conducted by Anderson Robbins Research and Shaw & Company Research. Fox News claims the former is a Democratic polling outfit and the latter a Republican firm. I can't find the Shaw & Company Research web site. Anderson Robbins Research's clients page reveals the polling outfit will work for anyone. The polling sample was only 911 registered voters in the United States. Anyone who reads polls knows that is a low sample. Short answer: the poll is interesting but don't take it too seriously.
