No household name political partisan has much of a shot at exceeding 50% favorability by a wide margin, or getting to <40% unfavorable.
How many Republican names would anyone of us respond to favorably? From Cruz to Collins on the loony scale or Trump to Boehner on the insider scale, the numbers would be so close to zero it wouldn't make a whit of difference. And as we often bemoan, Republicans are far better at lockstep. Doesn't matter if it's Sanders or Bashear, any Republican who knows who they are would respond as unfavorable. The differences we see are in knowledge not opinion. A nominated Sanders would jump to around 50% unfavorable overnight just as the Dem nominee as would a nominated Kasich or Carson on the right. Bush, and Clinton, are already there because they are known quantities.
Now this IS bad news for Bush, but the bad news is in the weaker than expected favorables for an establishment party golden boy. Part of that is the big money men syphoning off support for the puppets like Walker, and part of it is the reality show politainment crap with Trump.
