The Right to Rise super-PAC, which supports Jeb Bush’s candidacy, has produced a 15 minute “documentary.” The piece will be released on Saturday online and subsequently shown on TV. It will cover Bush’s time as governor of Florida and includes interviews with him and his wife. The documentary will air on NESN (New England Sports Network) in a bid to reach voters in New Hampshire.

A CNN/ORC poll released today has Donald Trump way ahead of the pack with 36%. The closest rival is Sen. Ted Cruz at 16%. Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio round out the top four. 52% of respondents say that they believe Trump is the candidate with the best chance of winning the general election in November, a very different opinion than that of the GOP establishment.

Obama cabinet member Labor Secretary Thomas Perez has pledged his support to Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. He will officially announce his support in Iowa. Secretary Perez says that Clinton is the best candidate to succeed President Obama. She can continue the progressive work he’s done and take care of “unfinished business.” We expect Perez to hit the campaign trail and be an active surrogate for the Clinton campaign.

Campaigns and PACs have starting increasing their use of radio ads. One of the biggest radio conglomerates in the country, iHeartRadio, has seen a 30% rise in the fourth quarter in political advertising, when compared to the same period in 2011. Millions of dollars spent on TV ads haven’t moved the dial much, as we’ve seen with John Kasich and Jeb Bush. That's possibly one reason for the increased focus on radio.

Despite the ubiquitous disillusionment with Washington politics, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Marco Rubio have all gone to DC to increase their end-of-year fundraising totals before the holidays get in full swing. The public reason for congregating in DC is a forum being held by the Republican Jewish Coalition. But candidates are also meeting with lobbyists and consultants -- a class of political operative frequently bashed on the campaign trail.

It is old news that traditional polling has not had the best year. Novel ways of gauging voter sentiment are being developed, and incrementally used more often. These include online polling and live-interview polling. Traditional polling can vary greatly, as can online and live-interview polls. With the primaries creeping up on the horizon, pollsters will be looking at which polling methods end up being most accurate. A significant measure of the methods' success will be which polling numbers match Trump’s actual share come voting day.

Donald Trump, the top Republican in the primary race, is thinking about charging CNN $5 million to appear in the Dec. 15 Republican debate. He made the statement to a crowd in Georgia, then promised to give the proceeds to wounded warriors or veterans. Trump has said similar things before. Prior to the September CNN debate, he considered asking for $10 million, which he would have split between 10 different charities.

Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton will make an address today in Montgomery, Alabama, where 60 years ago to the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man. The event is not organized by the Clinton campaign, the speech is instead part of a two-day conference set up by the National Bar Association. Clinton joins a number of black activists and lawyers who will also speak at the event, including Benjamin L. Crump, president of the National Bar Association and Martin Luther King, Jr's daughter Rev. Bernice King.
