Hillary Clinton would lose the swing state of Iowa to several potential Republican opponents, according to a new poll from a Democratic-leaning company.
The Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey released Tuesday showed Clinton getting the worse of match-ups against GOP candidates Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and retired surgeon Dr. Ben Carson.

The results are likely to be of particular concern to Democrats given that President Obama carried the Hawkeye State during both of his election victories, in 2008 and 2012. Clinton is the dominant front-runner in the race for the Democratic nomination, while Republicans are locked in a dogfight. Other polls show Clinton well ahead in Iowa of her rivals for the Democratic nomination, but the new survey is likely to add to the sense that Clinton could be vulnerable in a general election battle.
A recent survey by Quinnipiac showed Clinton trailing GOP candidates in the swing states of Iowa, Colorado and Virginia. Other polls have suggested voters don’t trust Clinton.

This is great news. People don’t trust Hillary Clinton nor should they. I’d no more trust Hillary Clinton in the White House than I’d trust John Travolta in a steam room.
But how could Ted Cruz not be beating her in Iowa? Genuine question by the way, not sarcasm.
And I don’t trust PPP.
Great news? It takes four GOP to take out one Clinton?
Hence the need for a 3rd party candidate. Gee, I wonder who that will be?
Not sure I get the Travolta steam room reference. Not sure I want to know..,..........
How in hell is Iowa a “swing state”?
Fair enough. I just expected any of the Republican candidates(except Jeb) to be beating Hitlery.
The article DOES NOT MENTION Cruz! It is in the tags (maybe for the comments), but not in the article. It does claim that Hillary edges out Trump, but I think most any candidate will pick up a couple of percentage points after a debate. She apparently is dreadful.
I am hesitant about supporting Trump and prefer Cruz. But I will say that Trump would probably stand a better chance with her. This is because he would be willing to “go off the reservation” and jump the tracks if the media handlers tried to protect her, which they will.
If that phony baloney stuff that happened between Obama and Romney had occurred to Trump, he would have called them both on collusion on the spot.
Did they even ask Hill versus Cruz?
