Jeb Bush has major problems in Iowa. His vocal support for immigration reform and the national education standards known as Common Core bother many in the state's Republican base.
A Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll of likely participants in the state's 2016 Republican caucuses shows nearly two-thirds consider Bush's positions on those issues to be a deal-killer, or something they'd consider when deciding whether to support him. Just 32 percent have no problem with those stands.
