Iowa Voters Don’t See Issue with Former Presidents

June 3, 2015 · 5:52 am ET · 5 Comments

A new Bloomberg/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll finds 57% of likely Republican caucus-goers said that it would be “mostly good” for Jeb Bush’s presidency if he were to tap his older brother, George, as a close adviser. Thirty-three percent said such an arrangement would be “mostly bad” for Jeb Bush’s presidency.

As for Hillary Clinton, a whopping 83% of likely Democratic caucus-goers approved of the idea of her using her husband, Bill, as a close adviser, while just 9% said doing so was a “mostly bad” suggestion for her presidency.
