Bush was better, but is that enough?

A new McClatchy/Marist poll released earlier this week revealed that 58 percent of those surveyed said the more they hear about Jeb Bush the less they like him. Only 32 percent said the more they hear, the more they like him. His marks were worse than any of the other candidates the pollsters asked about, including Trump.

In fairness to Bush, the poll was taken after his weak performance in the CNBC debate. Will his performance in the November 11 GOP Milwaukee debate change those responses? It is hard to erase a negative impression in opinions and negative impressions of him that have been growing. He did well last night but probably not well enough to undo the growing admiration audiences seem to have for Rubio and Cruz, who are the most eloquent debaters. Carly Fiorina is a sharp debater, too, but her interventions seemed to lack the common touch that Rubio projects so well.

Each candidate had strong moments in the main debate, and Chris Christie outshone the others in the early evening contest. The winner in Milwaukee seemed to be Fox and the Wall Street Journal, news organizations that produced a riveting and substantive exchange.
