Gov. Bobby Jindal edges Bush, Fiorina in new Iowa poll
Gov. Bobby Jindal is outpacing both former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina in a newly released poll from Iowa, thus besting two other Republican presidential candidates whose national poll numbers have landed them in the charmed circle of prime-time TV debaters that so far has eluded Jindal.
The Public Policy Polling survey, conducted from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, puts Jindal’s support at 6 percent, tied for fifth and a point ahead of both Bush and Fiorina. The margin of error is 3.9 percent.
Iowa hosts the Feb. 1 caucuses that launch the Republican nomination process. Jindal has spent more time in Iowa than all but one other candidate, and his supporters have shelled out millions on TV ads promoting him.
Jindal has been ticking up a bit in recent Iowa polls, although a Monmouth University poll, taken Oct. 22-25, pegged his support at 2 percent, in a three-way tie for eighth and trailing both Bush and Fiorina. The Real Clear Politics average of six recent Iowa polls has him alone in eighth place, with 3.3 percent.
