A growing majority of Florida voters disapprove of the job President Bush is doing and say it's unlikely they would vote for his brother, Gov. Jeb Bush, if he seeks the presidency in 2008, a poll released Wednesday shows.
Russell Schweiss, a spokesman for Jeb Bush, responded to the poll by Quinnipiac University of Hamden, Conn., in a brief e-mail saying only "The governor is not running." That just reiterated what the governor repeatedly has said, but if he should change his mind the poll indicates he could lose his home state.
Fifty-eight percent of Florida voters polled said they probably or definitely would not vote for the governor in a presidential race while only 33 percent said they probably or definitely would vote for him.
The poll shows President Bush's job approval rating continuing to slide in Florida as it has nationwide.
