Poll: Rubio leads the GOP pack in matchup against Clinton

Marco Rubio runs best against Hillary Clinton among all Republican 2016 contenders, according to a new Quinnipiac University national poll released Thursday.

Clinton has a clear lead over all potential Republican opponents in prospective matchups, with the exception of Rubio, whom she leads by just 45 percent to 43 percent — within the margin of error.

. The numbers suggest that the Florida senator has received a slight boost by formally entering the race. In March, before either Rubio or Clinton had officially announced their candidacy, 46 percent said they would back Clinton. When the question was first asked in March 2013, 50 percent said they would support Clinton against Rubio, weeks after he delivered the Republican response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address.

The new poll also shows voters’ continuing doubts about Clinton. A majority of all voters — 54 percent — said Clinton is not honest or trustworthy. Asked the same question about former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, more voters said that all of them are honest and trustworthy than not, but to varying degrees (43 percent, 33 percent and 44 percent, respectively).

Voters appear to be split on whether they like Clinton: Forty-six percent view her favorably, and 47 percent do not. The numbers represent a continuing decline in her favorability since leaving the State Department in 2013, -SNIP-

Not so much concern per se, just an observation. Vince foster always comes to mind when I hear about the “pay to play” operation by the Clintoons!

Question: What is a dead Clinton in a federal park?

Answer: A damn good start!

Thank you for your service to our Country!

I assure you that my use of the word “concern” was made with tongue placed FIRMLY in cheek! Like your reply, my only “concern” would be if any Clinton survived! LOL!

Thank you for your service!

Rubio is just another RINO who tries to stay, “just conservative enough”.

I agree! My [concern] would be if one of them got away and was missed! LOL

My Grandfather always told me when I was young: Sooner or later, everyone gets their come uppins! I do believe the Clintoons are about to get their come uppins and it won't be pretty!

Kind of like a 50 cal. round from ma duce hitting soft flesh just above the shoulders at about 500 yds, its not a pretty site!

“Rubio is just another RINO who tries to stay, “just conservative enough”.”

Rubio is just another RINO who [is playing the role of conservative] just to get elected.

There, I took the liberty to fix your post. I hope you do not mind!

I don’t think it will be interesting at all. The final demise of the USA is in the works, with the collaborative hand of the GOP.
