Poll: Clinton slips in key swing states
The Hill ^ | July 22, 2015 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 07/22/2015 2:32:04 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Hillary Clinton trails three top Republican presidential candidates in matchups in three key swing states — Iowa, Colorado and Virginia — a new Quinnipiac poll finds.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner is already slipping in favorability ratings and is now behind in those states when facing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio and Wiconsin Gov. Scott Walker. The GOP candidates lead Clinton outright in six of those matchups, while Clinton is still behind in the other three but within the margin of error. In Iowa, Rubio and Walker both hold an 8-percentage point lead over Clinton, while Bush would defeat her in the hypothetical matchup by 6 points.

In Colorado, Walker holds the largest lead over Clinton at 9 percentage points. Rubio follows shortly behind with an 8-point margin, while Bush leads by 5 percentage points.

Clinton’s margins are much closer in Virginia, but she’s still on the losing side of all three hypothetical contests. Bush and Walker lead her by 3 points, while Rubio leads by 2. All of those results are about within the margin of error of 2.8 percent.

This is a good sign. Hillary Clinton may be the most untrustful major candidate since Richard Nixon (and of course her husband).

Can you imagine the panic that is gripping the DNC. Look for Biden and Warren to be forced into the race. Lets hope for a bloody battle as they all try to out left the other.

From the article:

The title of worst favorability rating among the entire presidential field, Democrat and Republican, goes to Donald Trump. His favorability is down by 25 percentage points in Iowa, 27 points in Colorado and 31 points in Virginia.

Poll is influenced by dems or GopE.

Offhand I can’t think of anyone less worthy of trust than Hillary Clinton. If she told me that the sun would rise in the East tomorrow I would not believe it until I see it.

The GOP will save Hillary by nominating ¡YEB!

This poll is designed to make people think he could win.

He will not.

He’s a designated loser.

“I still have problems trusting any poll that has Jeb bush leading anything.”

It’s a SET-UP, trying yet ANOTHER ANGLE to drive a wedge between us and Trump. The unwritten, but OBVIOUS, thing we’re to conclude here is that Jeb, Rubio, Walker, or any other Open Borders type Republican can beat the Wildebeest, but Trump cannot...ergo, we must support an Open Borders Republican.

We’re in YEAR 7 of Obama after listening to you guys...we’re ready to try something new, finally.
