Jeb Bush out polls Hillary Clinton in Virginia

Washington Examiner:
Ever since Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2008 presidential chairman Terry McAuliffe became governor of Virginia, it has been expected that the swing state would stay purple and enthusiastically back her second try for presidency.

But a new poll of Virginians released Monday is proving to be a blow to Clinton and her pal McAuliffe. According to the the Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tops her in a head to head matchup, 48 percent to 46 percent.

The Newport News, Va., school also found that other Republicans are beginning to gain on Clinton.
...

While good news for Bush, it's another sign that Clinton is having difficulty getting to 50 percent in any matchup with a Republican, raising concerns that her support has a ceiling.

In the Virginia poll, for example, she beats other major potential Republican candidates but never gets above 49 percent....
...
If McAuliffe can't deliver Virginia for her she is in real trouble and the ceiling on her support will probably drift lower as the voters become more familiar with the Clinton Foundation mess.
