A bit circular, don't you think? What if that poll revealed he had a 90% favorability rating? Then would you favor taking the poll?

Exactly how would the pollsters have been able to guess what his favorability rating is before taking the poll?
No where have I said the poll was inaccurate, but your assertion that a large percentage of people would vote for Jeb Bush isn't accurate, and is based on what? I have simply stated that the poll was another cheap shot at Bush by a liberal media. Why would they include Jeb Bush in the poll, someone who has declared he's not going to run (not everyone that says they don't plan to run is secretly waiting to launch a campaign) when there are other people more likely to run - other conservatives...hmm, Mitt Romney, I'm sure no one thinks he's going to run.

You know the media is liberal and hates Bush. You know that CNN is liberal. Why do you refuse to recognize that while the purpose of the poll wasn't to slam Bush, that it was convenient to ask people about Jeb Bush in order to show their own (and many other people's) discontentment with GWB?
