Polls show Rubio and Bush trailing in FLA

None made a breakthrough.Marco Rubio had a few moments but he lost me with the campaign speech about his grandfather.

Since 1960, no President has won the general election without winning two of the three swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.

The in-your-face candidate is far ahead of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who was once considered a shoo-in for the GOP nomination but is lagging behind in fifth place, at 8 percent.

The polls show that for the third straight national polling cycle it is Sen.

The Quinnipiac Poll in Ohio puts Trump first at 23%, with Carson second at 18%.

Cruz has risen a point to 6 percent, while Rubio has moved from 7 percent in February to 10 percent today.

Trump received 26 percent and Carson 22 percent in a Fairleigh Dickinson University survey of registered Republicans. No other candidate managed to get more than 2 percent.

To this day, the candidate argues that those whose private property is expropriated should be happy-after all, they are getting a generous sum of cash.

Sanders is seen as favorable by 36 percent and unfavorable by 29 percent. While Biden has yet to commit to the race, the only candidate who poses a threat to him is Carson, besting him 46%-42% in Ohio and 47%-42% in Pennsylvania.

Charles Krauthammer observed the irony of this during the panel discussion that followed: Trump has politically positioned himself as a man of the people, yet he sides with big government and real estate developers over the little guy.

Should Vice President Joe Biden enter the race, he would get the support of 17 percent of Democratic voters.

Ohio Republicans go 23 percent for Trump, compared to 21 percent in August. Just 28 percent of likely Republican voters in California think he will be the party’s nominee, according to the poll.

Meanwhile, Carson bests all three.

Clinton is at 40 percent in Ohio, 21 percent for Biden and 19 percent for Vermont Sen.

Though there is lots of time remaining before voters in these states will head to the polls, a sizable share say they’ve already started ruling out a few candidates.

The fact that the California election is at the end of the primary cycle means that what happens before then will have a huge impact on the vote, he said.

This survey was conducted by Quinnipiac University using live interviewers calling land lines and cell phones from September 25th to October 5th.

Quinnipiac surveyed 1,049 Pennsylvania voters, of whom 427 were Republicans and 442 Dems.
