By M.D. & THE DATA TEAM
JEB BUSH is to announce today that he has officially entered the American presidential race as a candidate for the Republican party. The former governor of Florida remains a formidable contender, even though his nascent unofficial campaign has taken a few missteps that have attracted screaming negative headlines such as “How Jeb Bush’s campaign ran off course before it even began”. In a crowded field, the RealClearPolitics (RCP) polling average gives him a lead of just half a percentage point over his closest rivals, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio.
