Republican GOP Presidential Polls & Probabilities: Who’s Really Ahead?

Bobby Jindal, Dropped Out

Jindal not qualifying for the most recent main debate echoes his standing in the polls and prediction market. He may be the youngest candidate seeking the nomiation at the age of 43 but he has some politcal crendentials to stand on. At age 24 he was a state health secretary, at 33 he was a House member, and at 36 he was a governor. The Louisiana governor has a 0 percent likelihood of the nomination according to Predict Wise and in the polls he is at 0.3 percent. His campaign has raised $9.9 million, which is more than Trump, although he only raked in $0.6 million in the third quarter. Similar to Rubio's story of growing up with immigrant parents who tried to make a better life for their children, Jindal firmly believes in assimilating America, as he told CNBC in an interview in March.
"It [used to be] fashionable to call America the great melting pot. In recent years there's been this politically correct idea that that's somehow culturally arrogant. The fear I've got is when you look at what's happening in Europe—when you look at second third generation immigrants who don't really consider themselves French or British or German, that's a dangerous thing. Part of getting beyond these divisions is to stop saying African-American, Indian-American, Asian-American. We're all Americans. The only colors that should matter are red, white and blue," he said.
