Polls: Top GOP candidates lead Clinton in general election heats

Donald Trump has doubled the vote of his nearest Republican Presidential Primary challenger in the winner-take-all delegate state of Florida, according to a new poll by the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI) released on Wednesday. Marco Rubio both had the support of 11 percent of supporters with all of the remaining GOP candidates pulling in single digit support.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush showed no change in his support among New Hampshire voters, now at 7 percent, despite spending millions in TV ads in the state.

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton might have a mountain to climb in Colorado, according to a new poll. “As winter moves into the Rockies, Coloradans say the Democratic front-runner would get bruised and beaten by all the top GOP opponents, and absolutely crushed by Sen”.

Ben Carson clarifies his remarks about a Muslim president in an interview with Jake Tapper.

Colorado voters back any leading Republican contender over Clinton by wide margins: Rubio over Clinton 52 – 36 percent; Carson leads Clinton 52 – 38 percent; Cruz tops Clinton 51 – 38 percent; and Trump beats Clinton 48 – 37 percent. But in 2014, the state elected Republican Sen.

But against the GOP candidates, Clinton’s numbers slipped significantly from Quinnipiac’s poll in July. A victory there is seen as essential to GOP hopes to retaking the White House.

The Quinnipiac survey conducted live interviews on land lines and cellphones from November 11-15, surveying 1,262 Colorado voters; the poll has a 2.8 percentage point margin of error.

The headline should read, “Trump slumps into third place in Colorado”. Carson “has the lowest grades for having strong leadership qualities, a divided 45 – 44 percent”, despite his lead in the poll. 38 percent also said the US should send more troops to the Middle East while 28 percent said troop levels in the region should stay where they are.
