Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump lead other 2016 presidential candidates in

Ben Carson comes in second with 16 percent.

Twenty-seven percent of Republican primary voters support Trump, giving him a six point lead over his closest competitor, neurosurgeon Ben Carson (21 percent).

Quinnipiac said the poll focuses on Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania because since 1960 no candidate has won the presidential race without taking at least two of these three states.

Carson’s favorability rating remains the best of all Republicans, with 62% of GOP voters viewing him favorably compared to just 7% unfavorably.

The Quinnipiac poll out Wednesday shows that in Florida, voters say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy by 59-35 percent.

Still, Clinton holds a comfortable lead in Florida and Ohio.

Clinton said people like Sanders because they “think the system is rigged against them and the rich get all the gains”, the Rolling Stone reports.

Quinnipiac’s last survey of the swing states in August found Biden would outperform Clinton in certain matchups against Trump.

Without Biden in the race, Clinton holds majority support in all three states when his supporters are re-allocated to their second choice candidate, while Sanders’ backing hovers around 25%. Home state politicians don’t fare well either – Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former Pennsylvania Sen.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is “the most interesting character out there”, former President Bill Clinton said Tuesday night in an appearance on The Late Show.

Asked on Face The Nation if that is a concern with the United States, Carson said: “I didn’t say that it was going on right now”.

He trails Fiorina 43-39 percent and gets 40 percent to 43 percent for Rubio.

Florida voters are far more skeptical about Clinton and Trump.

Now, it’s more important than ever for candidates to make Georgia one of their priorities.

He described his Florida state challengers as “low energy” specifically saying about Sen. Fifty-three percent have a favorable view of Donald Trump, and 50 percent have a positive assessment of Marco Rubio. “And they said, ‘Oh, well, but that’s a plateau.’ Then I went to 20, to 24 [percent] – we had a poll today, I think it was 35 or 34 [percent], its insane”, Trump said at the event. The margin of error for that subset of GOP voters is plus or minus seven percentage points.

This poll was conducted by telephone October 4-8, 2015 among a random sample of 1,251 adults nationwide, including 1,038 registered voters. In Pennsylvania, 1,049 voters were surveyed, and the poll had a margin of plus or minus 3 percent.
