Fox News Poll: Obama Crushing Jeb Bush, Beating 2012 GOP Field

Submitted by Kevin Derby on February 14, 2011 - 10:16am

A poll from Fox News released on Monday, conducted by Anderson Robbins Research and Shaw & Company Research, found President Barack Obama in solid shape for winning another term in 2012 -- and routing former Gov. Jeb Bush if he were the Republican presidential nominee.

The poll had Obama with 54 percent and Bush with 34 percent. A poll from Fox News taken back in September found it much closer with Obama at 45 percent and Bush at 37 percent.

The poll also had Obama leading other Republican candidates. He led former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 48 percent to 41 percent and led former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee by a similar margin, 49 percent to 41 percent. Obama crushed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by more than 20 points, 56 percent to 35 percent. The president was ahead of former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich by 20 points, beating him 55 percent to 35 percent.

The poll of 911 registered voters was taken between Feb. 7-9 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
