Fox Poll: Hillary Trails All Republicans, Remains Strong Democratic Favorite
Townhall ^ | 10/15/2015 | Guy Benson

Posted on 10/15/2015 6:36:02 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Swing state polling data released last week showed Hillary Clinton faring worse against top Republicans in hypothetical general election match-ups than Joe Biden. Fox News' fresh national numbers confirm that effect. Though Mrs. Clinton's advantage among Democrats has surged back to a 20-point margin -- leading Bernie Sanders, followed by Joe Biden -- it appears she'd be a weaker nominee than the sitting Vice President.  First, Her Majesty's numbers:

And Uncle Joe's:

Clinton trails all four Republicans polled -- by between three and 11 points.  Biden, by contrast, handily beats Trump, holds modest edges over Bush, Fiorina and Carson, and is effectively tied with Marco Rubio.  Strangely, Fox doesn't appear to have polled a Rubio/Clinton head-to-head.  Based on the other results, it would follow that the Florida Senator also enjoys a polling advantage over the former Secretary of State.  What's behind Hillary's anemic showing?  Weak fundamentals.  Many rounds of polling show that she enjoys universal name recognition, but scores poorly on favorability, trustworthiness and empathy. She's also almost unanimously perceived as a 'meh' candidate at best, even by those who populate her political orbit:

Nearly every one of 50 advisers, donors, Democratic operatives and friends we interviewed for this story thought Clinton was a mediocre candidate who would make a good president, if given the chance. They painted a portrait of a politician who talked about learning from past mistakes while methodically repeating them—a far cry from the formidable shatterer of glass ceilings who had put such a scare into Obama late in the 2008 primaries.

That snippet comes from a much-discussed Politico piece making the rounds this week that describes Clinton's entrenched, unending email scandal as a "cancer" growing on her candidacy.  The entire episode paints Hillary as myopically self-interested, habitually dishonest and strikingly irresponsible.  These liabilities are not easily overcome, especially by someone with an infamous authenticity deficit. And don't take my word for it:

.@HillaryClinton is "on like double secret, super probation here when it comes to inauthenticity" says @davidaxelrod http://t.co/qeknt17NgZ— The Weekly Standard (@weeklystandard) October 13, 2015


On the Republican side, Donald Trump and Ben Carson are statistically deadlocked atop the field, attracting 47 percent of the GOP electorate combined. Mirroring the latest CBS survey, Ted Cruz has pulled into third place at ten percent, with Rubio and Bush close behind.  Notably, Carly Fiorina has slid to five percent support, while John Kasich and Chris Christie are floundering at one percent, tied with Bobby Jindal and George Pataki. Parting thought: Is Lanny Davis right that Joe Biden's standing is likely already at its zenith as an undeclared candidate?  Or does he have big upside that could threaten Hillary's grip on her party's crown?

He’s getting in. The president and the DNC want nothing to do with the Clintons retaking their party and the presidency. The Democrats will do more to take down Hillary than the hapless GOP would do.

Hillary would probably put the whole 0bama family in prison just for pay back. The demwhits like to do this, but they don’t want it done to them.

It is time to limit participation in the next Republican debate to only those candidates that have over 5% in a recent legitimate national poll.

TIME TO CUT BAIT!

This fox poll shows Trump only one point ahead of Carson. It is interesting to me to see all the polls taken as a whole. There seem to be three groups. One, the obviously fraudulent agenda polls where Trump is behind by more than the margin of error, ex: IBD national, and Club for growth in NH. Then there are polls showing Trump ahead by one or two, like this FOX poll, and the CBS poll, also the PPP poll in PA. Then the third group of polls where Trump leads by 7-20. How these are manipulated to create a national scenario is interesting. The least manipulated seem to be the latter group as on a whole, they seem to usually have the largest sample sizes. The first two groups almost always have like a 6% margin of error
. I wont make accusations, but, what if the polls with the smaller samples ... There were two polls taken simultaneously, and the poll that best fit the agenda was the one published?

“Either the Democrats don’t care about Clinton’s cover ups or they don’t care about America.”

All they want is free stuff.

None of this means a lot util at least March 2016. It does serve as mental recreation though.
