RE: Do those numbers include possible vote theft, ballot forgeries and all the other political tricks that will be used to defeat Trump/Cruz?

None of the polls do. to really be confident of overcoming the fraud possibility, a GOP candidate’s lead has to be OUTSIDE the margin of error.

RE: What are Marco Rubio’s greatest accomplishments?

I think we must ask the same question of every candidate out there.

I love how the GOPe and their allies have been so predictable this year.
Every move they’ve made has been charged on FR weeks in advance.

That's where they're getting their ideas! :)

I know these people still exist. Typically they are over 50, live in gated (still mostly white) communities, think it’s cute that their kids come home from college on the weekend in little gray suits and peculiar red books and they say things like, “I still believe in the American people”

Anything FOX puts out I ignore.

“What are Marco Rubio’s greatest accomplishments?”

Using his Republican Party American Express card for personal purchases.

Buying a new boat.

And this is before anti-Hillary attack ads.

Of all the candidates, I think Trump would be the most willing to go negative on Hillary. Contrast with John McCain and Mittens, who refused to go negative on Obama (although McCain was famously savage in going after the more-conservative candidate who tried primarying him for his Senate seat).

The latest GOPe gambit...

The 8 Republicans in my family would not cross the room to vote for Rubio.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well by all means lets nominate Marco. :-)

Looks like we might have a repeat of 2012 when enough people do this.

This kind of political reporting is so pathetic. Overlooking for now Fox News’s preferred candidate coming out on top, we are talking about 1 or 2 point differences, which is just a sliver of the margin of error for the poll—if all polling practices were perfect.

Pul-ease.

[9YearLurker]

I don’t think so. Just because Obama looked youthful, normal and healthy next to McCain, doesn’t mean Rubio won’t look like the youngster not nearly ready for the big chair.

And, of course, his policies are crap.

[teletech]

I think even Dindu Nuffin beats Hillary.

[Blackirish]

I thought that Rubio would be the eventual nominee for a long time now. I like him and hope he becomes the next president.

[Parley Baer]

“Fox news has an agenda. Destroy Trump and promote Rubio. I don’t believe anything from them any more.”

You are absolutely correct.

[so_real]

They need to get real. The attacks in Paris ended Rubio's path to the White House. Open borders and amnesty do not appeal to the vast majority of the citizenry. Everyone knows this, with the apparent exception of the morons manipulating the poll statistics.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Don’t bet on it, I will not vote for any of the Cheap Labor Express candidates

[Lurkinanloomin]

I’ll never vote for amnesty

Happy Thanksgiving week, conservatives: Screen grab Poll: At least 7 GOP candidates beat or tie @HillaryClinton if race held today. @SundayFutures pic.twitter.com/to0piVh2lm Fox News (@FoxNews) November 22, 2015 Rubio’s up eight, Jeb’s up six, Trump and Carson are up five, Cruz is up four, and Christie’s up three. Fiorina is tied with Hillary, at 42 percent apiece. The sample is R+1 — perhaps a bit generous — but Hillary’s fundamentals remain terrible, including a dead-last (38/58) ‘honest and trustworthy’ score among the field. And it’s entirely plausible that more Americans are identifying as Republicans in the wake of the Paris attacks, especially...
