Who are Jeb Bush supporters second choice?

If you watch Fox News, you’d think all of Jeb Bush supporters would automatically go to Rubio. But according to this, that blows the Fox News theory out of the water. Believe it or not, 11% of Bushies would vote for Donald Trump as their second choice. Ted Cruz would gets 12% of the Bushies.

OF course Rubio does better than other candidates getting 19% of Bushies, but that isn’t exactly a large chunk of the vote.

So despite Fox News spin, Rubio isn’t a shoe-in to surpass Trump or Cruz now that Bush is gone.
