None in New Hampshire Republican focus group would vote for Jeb Bush, Democrat group supported Hillary-Bloomberg

.
"None said they’d back Bush if they were voting today."...(3rd parag.)

3/19/15, "New Hampshire Focus Groups Reveal Possible Problems for Bush, Clinton," Bloomberg, Margaret Talev

"Bloomberg Politics-Purple Strategies focus groups convened this week in New Hampshire."...(2nd parag.)

"The two 90-minute sessions of 10 registered voters from each party, held Tuesday in Londonderry, N.H., aren’t large enough to constitute a scientific sample, but they could reflect the early emotional contours of the race."...(6th parag.)

"The Republican participants, meanwhile, reflected the intense skepticism felt in some party circles toward Bush."...(10th parag.)

"None said they’d back Bush if they were voting today."...(3rd parag.)

"“I know enough to know I don’t need to keep voting for a Bush over and over again or a Clinton over and over again,” said Matthew, a 35-year-old with some college education. He said Bush represents “the Republicans we’ve been trying to get rid of for the last eight or 10 years.”"...(11th parag.)

"Likely Democratic presidential primary voters in the second focus group were overwhelmingly supportive of Clinton. Even though some said they’d like to see other Democrats run in the primaries to encourage healthy debate, none suggested any alternatives could beat Clinton." (19th parag.) via Drudge

===========================

Comment: The headline doesn't reflect what the article reports. Jeb Bush is the only one with a "possible problem" since "none" of the ten Republicans said they'd vote for him. The Democrat group was "overwhelmingly supportive of Clinton."
