A Quinnipiac poll of the bellwether state of Ohio finds the GOP with a slight edge in most potential head-to-head match-ups, though the advantage in some cases is within the margin of error.
“The four leading Republican candidates either tie or lead former Secretary Clinton in Ohio, considered the best microcosm of the national electorate and a must-win for the GOP. Republicans have never won the White House without carrying Ohio,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
Governor John Kasich easily tops Hillary 54-37. Kasich also beats Sanders in a head-to-head match up by a slightly larger margin 54-35. But even without the home state advantage other GOP candidates do well against their potential Democratic rivals, though Quinnipiac says these match-ups are too close to call given the poll’s 2.5 percent margin of error:
- Trump 44 percent to Clinton’s 42 percent;
- Cruz 46 percent to Clinton’s 43 percent;
- Rubio tops Clinton 47 – 42 percent;
- Trump and Sanders tied 44 – 44 percent;
- Sanders at 44 percent, with Cruz at 42 percent;
- Rubio at 44 percent to Sanders’ 42 percent.
If you look a little more deeply into the results you see in most areas Trump and Rubio have receive similar numbers against Hillary. In both match-ups she gets 42% overall and in both she gets 35% of men. Across the four age categories the results are within a point of each other whether Hillary is facing Trump or Rubio. Where the numbers are different is among women. Against Rubio Hillary wins women 48-42. Against Trump, Hillary wins women handily, 49-36. That’s not surprising since Trump’s favorability with women in the poll is at 29-66 (-37). If Trump is the nominee you can expect Hillary to do everything she can to exploit that gap.
Despite Kasich’s strong favorability in his home state (56-28), a Quinnipiac poll published Tuesday found Trump leading the GOP field at 31% with Kasich five points behind him at 26 percent. The same poll found Clinton leading Sanders 55-40.
[Trump 44 percent to Clintonâs 42 percent;]
b-b-but... Cruzers said Hillary easliy beats Trump!
Folks, if you're reading this, you know what needs to happen.
If you can, please support the forum at this time. Thank you.
It is a testimony to the extreme moral criminality of liberal women that Hillary’s even in the race, let alone competitive.
Should send cold, panicky shivers through the hearts of the Hillaryites and the Rats in general alike.
Just wait until similar numbers are produced in Pennsylvania, just slightly left of Ohio.
No kiddin’, Sherlock.
So, all the people who Trump is easily trouncing are faring better against Clinton than they are against Trump. Sounds kind of odd.
She has the entire DNC establishment behind her, but Sander’s is putting the heat on her!

Not odd at all.
You cannot compare a sample where only Republican voters are polled.
In the Trump vs Hillary poll, it’s the entire Ohio electorate ( Republicans, Democrats and Independents ) being polled.
There is no way Trump beats heallry... by ONLY 2 points.
It will be a landslde of epic proportions. This will be the elections that destroys polling outfits as useless once and for all
Franklin and Marshall - Pennsylvania January 23, 2016
Trump 24%
Cruz 14%
Rubio 11%
This is bullcrap. Trump will take Hillary by a large margin in Ohio.
Once Trump start running Hillary for Prison 2016 commercials, Watch Hillary numbers fall even further
If the Donald realistically thinks he can edge her in New York, then he will mop the floor with her in Pennsylvania.
Our leftards aren't anywhere near as loony . . . or as numerous as their leftards.
“She has the entire DNC establishment behind her, but Sanderâs is putting the heat on her!”
I personally hope she has a stroke! Dying would be too good for her for all that she’s done to trash this country. Better that she sit around for ten, even 20 years in a wheelchair as a vegetable. Shoot, they could even let her watch Slick with “The Energizer Bunny!”
And Trump’s numbers will only go up as winning only makes him seem more presidential.
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, with Alabama in between.
