Quinnipiac releases new poll for 2016 election

“He doesn’t have a chance”, Trump said today.

Then again, that four-second rule may not be completely accurate since numerous subsequent videos have Trump appearing on camera for longer than four seconds.

That follows a New York Times/CBS News poll from last week, just before the most recent Republican primary debate in which Carson remained largely on the margins, that showed Carson edging ahead of Trump nationally.

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson does best among the 2016 GOP field against Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical general election race, a new poll shows.

Among self-identified Republicans, Carson received 33 percent support, while Trump had 22 percent of the vote. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas had negative approval ratings, they also had fewer people who formed opinions about them. No other candidate gets more than 3 percent. They also show voters are starting to pay more attention to the election. Another 14 percent of respondents were undecided.

“But a year is an eternity in presidential campaigns and this race already has left a few former front-runners on life support”, Malloy added. Clinton beats Trump but loses to Rubio and Cruz, all in close contests.

Clinton’s traditional lead among women evaporates as American voters pick Carson over the Democrat 50 – 40 percent.

For his part, Carson celebrated the results on Facebook.

· 35 – 32 percent for Cruz. Clinton’s favorable was 42 and her unfavorable 52.

However, The Washington Times noted that Trump is not anxious about their single percentage difference, as he said that Carson has “lower energy” than Bush, who he said was practically narcoleptic.

Chris Christie helped himself in the debate, with the third highest percentage saying he did the “best job”.

The poll was conducted October 29 through November 1, and talked to 400 likely GOP primary voters with a margin of error of 4.9%.

The ads, positive bio spots chock full of campaign promises, ignore trump’s toughest rivals, even as the candidate takes a harsher tone in interviews and a mistakenly released promo for Saturday Night Live. The survey of 498 Democrats has a margin of error of 4.5 points.
