Half of Voters Less Likely to Vote for Jeb Bush Due to Family Legacy

With buzz building that former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., could run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, on Monday Rasmussen Reports highlighted a poll taken last month which shows half of Americans are less likely to vote for him due to his family legacy.

The poll shows 50 percent of those surveyed are less likely to vote for Bush since his father and his brother served as presidents. Only 14 percent say they are more likely to vote for Bush due to his family legacy while 34 percent say it will have no impact.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters from across the nation was taken March 4-5 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
