More bad news for GOPe and golden boy Jeb Bush. Donald Trump is now closer to Hillary Clinton in the latest CNN poll than Jeb Bush is. Trump trails Hillary Clinton by six points in the Clinton News Network poll while GOPe golden boy Jeb Bush is nine points behind the corrupt Hillary Clinton. This is bound to make GOPe hacks like Rick Wilson to act like babies yet again. Donald Trump is running better in the polls against Hillary Clinton than Jeb Bush. But remember, Jeb Bush is the only electable Republican or something. Even Carly Fiorina is catching up to Jeb, trailing him by only one point. If Karl Rove had any hair left, he’d be pulling it out of his head right about now.

The poll finds Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump by just 6 points, a dramatic tightening since July. Trump is the one of three Republican candidates who have been matched against Clinton multiple times in CNN/ORC polling to significantly whittle the gap between himself and the Democratic frontrunner. He trailed Clinton by 16 points in a July poll, and narrowed that gap by boosting his standing among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (from 67% support in July to 79% now), men (from 46% in July to 53% now) and white voters (from 50% to 55%).
But Clinton still holds the cards overall in the race for the White House, leading four Republican contenders: She tops Trump and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker by 6 points each among registered voters, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by 9 points, and businesswoman Carly Fiorina by 10 points.
