Appearing on Wednesday's NBC Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd spun former Florida Governor Jeb Bush announcing that he was "exploring" the possibility of running for president in 2016 as a boost for the candidacy of Hillary Clinton: "By the way, the big Jeb Bush announcement helps Hillary because it'll scare Democrats and rally them around Hillary even more."

Moments earlier, co-host Savannah Guthrie touted support for Clinton in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll: "Obviously it's pretty clear Hillary Clinton is running, so we'll all wait for an official announcement. She polls very, very well, as you can see." The numbers on screen showed 50% support for Clinton and 48% opposed.
