Not too awful actually for Bush this one. I guess he's slowly starting to improve on his standing. I'm highly curious to see how he'll poll next time against Hillary in Texas. Hopefully PPP will include 2016 match-ups in their Texas poll this weekend.

Paul does better. Those are terrible numbers for Bush. If you can't be more competitive than the "insane libertarian" than you are worthless.

First rule of elections is that the undecideds break 100% for the Republican Party, so Clinton is actually trailing everyone except Huckabee.

It depends upon the state. In general, I have largely seen that the undecided break ineffectively toward the loser. If the split is 64-20, even a 100% break among the undecided toward the eventual loser still indicates a landslide. Also, if a nominee has a ceiling  far short of 50%, then a 42-41 lead can become a 56-44 loss (look at Obama in the Dakotas in 2008). 

Michigan is the sort of state in which the Republican nominee often has a ceiling around 45%.

So normally I expect 10%+ leads to shrink.


he's joking
