Probably Perry. You just can't recover from a majority of the country viewing you as an idiot.

Jim Gilmore.  I don't even think he knows how to run a campaign.  Trump doesn't either, but at least he knows how to command the media.  He's also just an incredibly bland and forgettable politician.

Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, or Jim Gilmore due to a lack of name recognition.  But, they would probably have more if they had won the nomination.  Honestly, if even Trump can be well ahead, any of the 17 would have beaten her.

That narrows it down to everyone except possibly Pataki.

Anyway, Carson.

Ben Carson--he's too experienced and too "dreamy."

A majority of the country didn't view him as an idiot in 2000 or 2004.

Carson or Jindal. The fact that they aren't white has nothing to do with it, of course. Wink

Carson. Even the people who genuinely like or admire him do not think he is Presidential material.

Voted Trump, but thinking about it - likely Piyush.

I don't get why Sleepy Surgeon is considered the least electable here.  He was tied with Clinton during his "flavor of the month" period.  I think he'd be in a much better place than Trump is with the better personality and lack of Trump-esque baggage.

I can't name one specific one, but these would be doing worst or among the worst: Santorum, Fiorina, Carson and Perry.

A little worse than the Trumpster: Cruz, Jindal, Graham, Huckabee.

About equal as the Trumpster: Christie, Pataki, Gilmore, Walker, Paul, Bush

Better than the Trumpster: Kasich, Rubio

Out of curiosity--do you have any polls with compare the American people's perceptions of Bush's and Perry's idiocy?

Jindal. Hillary would be leading in LA and competitive in AR/MO.

Gilmore would be winning in a landslide.
