Republicans want a candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton. A new Fox News poll finds Marco Rubio performs best against the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Rubio has an eight-point edge: 50 percent to Clinton's 42 percent.
Then again, Clinton -- who commands 55 percent support among Democratic primary voters, easily outpacing Bernie Sanders (32 percent) and Martin O'Malley (3 percent) -- trails all top-tier Republicans in hypothetical 2016 face-offs.
Jeb Bush is ahead of Clinton by six points (45-39 percent). She trails both Ben Carson (47-42 percent) and Donald Trump (46-41 percent) by five. Ted Cruz bests her by four (45-41 percent), while Chris Christie has a three-point edge (46-43 percent).
Carly Fiorina fares the worst against Clinton: they tie at 42 percent. Women go for Clinton over Fiorina by four points, while men back Fiorina by six points.
Trump also tops Sanders by five points (46-41 percent).
Rubio not only commands the widest margin against Clinton, he's the only one who hits the 50 percent mark. Rubio's margin comes entirely from men, who go for him over Clinton by 17 points. The two are tied among women voters.
This is the first time Rubio has topped Clinton, although it’s always been close -- she was up by just one point in June (45 Clinton vs. 44 Rubio).

I’d vote for Hillary before I voted for this guy.
Hah!
How convenient for GOPe dopes.
Fox News?
I believe that’s all BS. Fox News and their GOPe pals are spinning for their GOPe nominee and I am not buying.
Fox news has an agenda. Destroy Trump and promote Rubio. I don’t believe anything from them any more.
First it was Bush, then Kasich, and sometimes it was Christie.
No more RINO’s Fox News, get over it!
RE: I’d vote for Hillary before I voted for this guy.
Then you’d get amnesty, partial birth abortion, Obamacare + HillaryCare, higher taxes, future Benghazi’s, America’s resources being sold off to the Ruskies (via the Clinton foundation ) ALL IN ONE PACKAGE.
But! But! Other pols previously posted on this forum have stated that they all would beat Clinton. Is that true?

READ THE ARTICLE, THE POLL RESULTS ON HEAD TO HEAD MATCHUPS ARE ALL THERE.
Fox. Yes, be careful of their numbers at present.
The media is not to be trusted. Remember the first Repub debate and the ATTACK on Trump??? Speaks volumes.
Let’s see if we can compare an orange with an orange...
Rubio tops cankles, 50-42.
Cruz tops canky, 45-41.
Adjusting for Fox-E’s bias to the GOP-E of 10 points (estimating 10 pts, but in reality, it is whatever it takes), thus -5 for Rubio, and +5 for Cruz:
Rubio tops canky, 45-42.
Cruz tops canky, 50-41.
Cruz Wins!
Hillary: Please don’t throw me in that briar patch.
Media so transparent, pimping Rubio.
Marco Rubio?
Who d’at?
Cooked numbers, the aroma of which is the stench of GOPe desperation.

[===========================================================
The poll numbers may be true, but they also show that Trump would beat Hillary or Sanders, so the article is meaningless other than to try to promote Amnesty candidate #??
Promise Rubio enough money and you can buy the exact same "package" from him. The lying traitor doesn't care about American citizens when there is a pile of money to be had.
I’d vote for Hillary before I voted for this guy.
RE: Who d’at?
Well, if even a Who d’at beats Hillary, that tells me she’s in trouble :)
Is Fox News still a thing?
