Admittedly it’s early, and polls conducted in May 2014 about the 2016 elections are about as reliable as the weather forecast for November 2016. But Republicans \u2013 those running for president and those in Congress \u2013 would be wise to have a look at a new Zogby Analytics poll<\/a> matching up Hillary Clinton and three of the Republican front-runners for 2016.<\/p>\n No Republican contender is more overtly supportive of amnesty for illegal aliens than former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Neither his support for amnesty, nor his brother’s appeal among Hispanics (George W. Bush captured about 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004) appears to impress Hispanic voters.<\/p>\n

He voted against S.744<\/a>, the Gang of Eight bill, but he continues to flirt with the idea<\/a> of amnesty as a cornerstone of immigration reform. Being indecisive on immigration policy stands him somewhat more favorably than Jeb Bush among Hispanic voters, but still miles behind Clinton.<\/p>\n
