Poll: Six Republican candidates would beat Hillary in head-to-head general election match-up

Do you smell that?  I love the smell of panic in the morning especially from Democrats.

Perhaps not panic.  But the results of this latest Fox poll should elicit some hand-wringing, wailing, and gnashing of teeth from Democrats.

Six Republican candidates several who are barely registering in GOP polls would beat Hillary Clinton in the general election, according to the poll.

The Hill:

Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) would do best against Clinton, 50 to 42 percent, pollsters found.

Billionaire Donald Trump, retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie would also win hypothetical elections, according to the new poll, taken after more than 100 people were killed and more than 300 others injured in a wave of terrorist attacks in Paris.

Clinton and former businesswoman Carly Fiorina would tie with 42 percent each.

Trump remains the GOP front-runner with 28 percent support from likely Republican primary voters in the new poll.

Carson has 18 percent while Cruz and Rubio are tied at 14 percent apiece. No other GOP candidate had more than 3 percent support.

The poll, conducted Nov. 16-19, has a 3 percent margin of error for all registered voters and a 4.5 percent margin of error for Republican primary voters.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, all but given up for dead last month by most of the media, has surged 13 points in the last month to pull within 26 points of Clinton nationally.  From a press release by the Sanders campaign:

“He’s gained significantly among registered Democrats and Democrat leaners under age 50, runs closely with Clinton among liberals and has closed the margin, to some extent, among nonwhites and women –.

Rolling Stone has a “dreamy” cover of Bernie this month.

He is still the candidate their hearts are behind. Hill’s continued poor performance may still tilt some states to him.

Oh, please. Jeb “Here Hillary, let me pin a medal on you” Bush has no shot of ever beating her. Ditto for Obama’s hug buddy Christie.

I would like to know how these candidates would do against Bernie. He does have his worshipers and could overtake Hillary.

Maybe, but I doubt the real "swing voters" that Hillary is counting on were polled:

1. The dead;

2. Illegals not legally allowed to vote; and

3. Hacked electronic voting machines.

And this despite all the positive news from the media about Hillary.

Wait until Trump starts to attack Hillary. It will be brutal!

I think Trump is the only one who could put New York into play. He does that the election is over.

Humming, the DUmmies have a poll showing Hillary crushing the GOP candidates. Of course they also think with Vitter losing the LA governorship to a den shows that the South is becoming more liberal....

Likely a blow-out.

He is so loopy and honest about his socialism, that it blows the left’s ability to hide it under their banner of “compassion”.

It would likely be a polite general, as he isn’t an outward jerk. But he has no chance. Even against Jeb.

The anti-Trump hacks on Fox totally disregard Trump will get more Democrats than anybody since Reagan. Rubio will be viewed by independents as another Republican hack

Our damn W BAP station ran the headline news blurb this morning by saying Hillary beats all contenders in whatever poll they are quoting.
You would think in Texas we would have a conservative media. WRONG.
Wbap is cumulus media owned. Propaganda prostitutes...
The lies for Hillary run deep.

The Abortion Party is letting Hillary! play out her neurotic need to be President, and go down in flames. Bernie and O’Malley are two other delusional psychopaths, and provide a little pretense of a contest.

When Hillary! doesn’t make it, and no longer has even a remote chance of being President, the bribes will stop cold. She and Bill will have to struggle through the rest of their lives on the billion or so they have accumulated.
