If Jeb can't even carry Florida against Hillary, then it's time to stick a fork in him.

Poll: Hillary Clinton bests Jeb Bush in Florida

Jeb Bush has a strong lead in Florida among potential 2016 Republican presidential contenders — but Hillary Clinton’s got them all beat, a new poll Thursday found.

According to the Quinnipiac University poll, 27 percent would back Bush for the White House, earning him a sizable lead over the rest of the GOP field.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul came in second with 14 percent, beating out Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who came in third at 11 percent. No other candidates received more than 6 percent support.

The poll comes amid rising speculation that Bush, the governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007, might run for the GOP nomination in 2016.

The poll showed Hillary Clinton doing well in Florida, as well. She topped all potential GOP challengers in a head-to-head race. In a potential faceoff between her and Bush, she received 49 percent support compared to 41 percent support for the former governor.

The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted April 23-28 with 1,413 registered voters. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

Isn't Florida just another borough of NYC?

Depends on the time of year. Up until recently, we were South Toronto. Retired New Yorkers that set-up shop here permanently may be in the majority again now that our Canadian friends have left for the summer.
