Most major GOP candidates now lead both Clinton and and Sanders (L) |
Resident Skeptic |
This is only going to get worse.
Quote: | While Clinton argues that she would be more electable in November, Sanders shows somewhat more strength against four possible Republican opponents, although almost all of the matchups fall within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
In hypothetical matchups in the general election:
• Clinton loses by 2 points to Trump (43%-45%), 1 point to Cruz (44%-45%), 6 points to Rubio (42%-48%) and 11 points to Kasich (38%-49%). That's a weaker standing than the former secretary of State showed in December's survey, when she narrowly led Trump and Cruz and trailed Rubio by just 2 points.
• Sanders loses by 1 point to Trump (43%-44%), 3 points to Kasich (41%-44%) and 4 points to Rubio (42%-46%) — each of them a slightly stronger showing than Clinton — and he leads Cruz by 2 points (44%-42%). |
Trump is also now the "second choice" among a plurality of GOP voters.
Quote: | When Republican voters' first and second choices are combined, giving a sense of what might happen is the field winnows, the trio's advantage at the top gets bigger and their contest gets closer. Trump is the first or second choice of 44% of Republicans; Rubio and Cruz of 40% each. |

This is the latest poll. A trend will only grow from here. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

The polls you cite are two weeks older, mind you. A trend is beginning. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |
