The latest Quinnipiac poll, coming out one year before Election Day, shows each of the top Republican candidates except Donald Trump running ahead of Hillary Clinton.

Carson leads Clinton by 10 points, 50 percent to 40 percent. Sen. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) beats Clinton 46 percent to 41 percent, as does Gov. Chris Christie. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) beats her 46 percent to 43 percent. But businessman Donald Trump Clinton has a 3-point edge over Donald Trump in the poll, 46 percent to 43 percent.

Clinton’s traditional lead among women evaporates as American voters pick Carson over the Democrat 50 – 40 percent. Women go 45 percent for Carson and 44 percent for Clinton, while men back the Republican 55 – 35 percent.

“Is there a doctor in the house? There certainly is and at the moment Dr. Ben Carson is delivering a troubling diagnosis to Secretary Hillary Clinton,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. “With the election one year away, Ben Carson has surgically cut away all but one GOP opponent and taken a scalpel to Hillary Clinton’s lead. But a year is an eternity in presidential campaigns and this race already has left some former front-runners on life support.”

Clinton has the lowest rating for honesty as American voters say 60 – 36 percent she is not honest and trustworthy.

“Clinton gets crushed on character issues, pounded by Carson and closely challenged by Sen. Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio.”

From the poll:

Carson gets the best honesty grades among top candidates, a positive 62 – 24 percent.

Carson also gets the highest grades as American voters say 56 – 32 percent that he cares about their needs and problems.

But voters say 50 – 38 percent that Carson does not have the right kind of experience to be president. Voters say 58 – 39 percent that Trump does not have the right experience, the two lowest grades among top candidates.

Carson continues to be a strong voice for the unborn on the campaign trail. In a new interview with Breitbart News, the former neurosurgeon explained how he would work to restore a culture of life in the United States if elected president.

To be honest, I’m sick and tired of all these polls. A poll for this - a poll for that. Why don’t we wait until the voting actually begins to see how things go? Look what happened in Kentucky - I think polls are useless due to the fact that the majority of people use cell phones and lie to pollsters.

Yep, anyone but Trump. I’m stunned I tell you. Stunned

[Angels27]

Surprised Cruz is up on the witch. They have trashed his name so much the last couple years. I though Trump woul dbeat her before Cruz. Great to see him ahead.

Perhaps Hillary is reaching “unelectable”territory.

Poll out of Minnesota and another in Florida saying the exact opposite! Quinnipac releasing polls with lower sample numbers to prop up the loser candidates.

You know I looked up how they got those ratings on that chart and it is almost completely bogus.

They use positions Trump held 35 years ago and has since, long since, like 10 years ago or more changed his mind on.

They also give him bad ratings for not supporting the one world open borders let the 3rd world steal all the jobs and import good below cost back to the US position of the left. At this time the US needs to raise tariffs and penalize countries for unethical trade practices. So the red is really Green.

Try finding an honest rating

They use positions Trump held 35 years ago and has since, long since, like 10 years ago or more changed his mind on.

Yep, Trump supported TARP, auto bailout and Porkulus bill. That is so 30 years ago.

Trump's Record on Free-market Issue: (from the Conservative Review)

Trump has a terrible record on free market issues. The only bright spot is the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing, but this glimmer is countermanded by his repeated support for bailing out Wall Street and the auto industry, and increased stimulus spending. Of particular concern is Trump's belief that the government can use eminent domain powers to seize private property in the name of private economic development. This comes as no surprise, given his support for using eminent domain to profit his own company.

Trump supported the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of London, allowing public authorities to seize private land for economic development by private investors; Trump said, “I happen to agree with [the decision] 100 percent.” (National Review)  This is no surprise given Trump’s attempt to use eminent domain in his own line of work. (Institute for Justice)

Trump supported President Obama’s 2009 stimulus, saying: “The word stimulus is probably not used in its fullest…you know, certain of the things that were given weren't really stimulus. They were pork, as we call it, or they were gifts to certain people. But overall, I think he's [President Obama] doing very well. You do need stimulus and you do have to keep the banks alive.” (CNN) 

Trump supported TARP, saying, "You had to do something to shore up the banks, because ... you would have had a run on every bank." (CNN) 

Trump supported the 2008 auto bailout, saying, “I think the government should stand behind them 100 percent. You cannot lose the auto companies. They’re great. They make wonderful products.” He also said that the federal government could “easily save the companies.” (Daily Caller) 

Trump criticized the Federal Reserve’s intervention in the debt market, saying quantitative easing creates “phony numbers” that mislead the marketplace and “will not ultimately benefit the economy. The dollar will go down in value and inflation will start rearing its ugly head.” (CNBC) 

Donald Trump has a history of using eminent domain to complete business deals. Multiple times Trump has supported the use of government agencies to take possession of homes and businesses for use in his private business plans. Eminent domain seizures are reserved only for public use of property rather than abuse by the government taking property from one individual and giving to another. (Washington Post) 

Donald Trump has sought and received crony capitalist tax breaks for his commercial properties in New York. These tax breaks, and even an abatement, force the property taxes of other property owners to rise at the expense of the connected. Special treatment for one business or industry over another with the tax code conflicts with free market principles. (National Review) 

In 2009, Trump supported Barack Obama's call for limits on the pay of executives. (CNN)

How about from last-week debate?

Trump's Record on Civil-liberty Issue: (from the Conservative Review)

"Trump has an inconsistent record when it comes to civil liberties. He supported the NSA mass surveillance program but did not weigh in on the recently passed reforms. Overall, he has avoided commenting on religious freedom, but says he would be an advocate for Christians. Trump supports an individual’s right to make unlimited campaign contributions, but advocates for an end to soft money in politics. Most concerning is Trump’s belief that the government can use eminent domain powers to seize private property for economic benefit for others."

Trump supports the NSA’s metadata collection program, saying, “I support legislation which allows the NSA to hold the bulk metadata. For oversight, I propose that a court, which is available any time on any day, is created to issue individual rulings on when this metadata can be accessed.” This position was identical to the NSA’s mass surveillance program before being reformed by the USA Freedom Act. (Newsweek) 

Trump has avoided commenting on religious freedom since Indiana passed its Religious Freedom and Restoration Act into law. Instead, he has said that he will be the “greatest representative of the Christians they've had in a long time” if elected president. (Christian Today) (Breitbart)  

Trump believes political soft money should be banned, while individuals should be allowed to make unlimited contributions. "If I were drawing a political cartoon to represent the situation, it would include a very large guy with a huge bag of money. On that bag would be written one word: soft. Soft money is the bane of the current system and we need to get rid of it." (The America We Deserve) 

Trump supported the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of New London, giving public authorities the right to seize private land for economic development by private investors. Trump said, “I happen to agree with [the decision] 100 percent.” (National Review)

Trump highlighted his support for prosecuting "hate crimes" against homosexuals in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. “Hate Crime” is a term used to extend special protections for a specific classes and in essence elevates the importance of these classes above others. For example, murder of homosexual or heterosexual should be viewed equally under the law and punished equally. Creating special classes is a liberal tactic used to divide and segment society.(Google Books)

Trump said that Kim Davis should not have been jailed for refusing to issue gay marriage licenses. He also said that she should allow her deputy clerks to do so, but also said that 30 miles away you can get a license so people should do that. He added, "The decision's been made, and that is the law of the land." (CNN)

Much like his stance on eminent domain, Donald Trump has shown a troubling tendency to want to use the power of government to stifle political speech. When the conservative Club for Growth released an advertisement regarding Trump's changing positions on taxation, Trump responded with a legal letter calling for them to cease and desist the advertisements. A chilling move towards the silencing of political speech. (Politico)

Donald Trump attacked SuperPACs (political action committees) in the third Republican debate. By suggesting they should be outlawed he came out against the First Amendment protection of speech, and echoed progressive talking points. (Time)

Well, at least Trump doesn’t believe the Egyptian pyramids were built by Joseph to store grain in.

But voters say 50 – 38 percent that Carson does not have the right kind of experience to be president. Voters say 58 – 39 percent that Trump does not have the right experience, the two lowest grades among top candidates.

But Obammymammy had loads of experience didn’t he.

[bobby.223]

Those pyramids did store grain!!! They were all set up for Carson and his pals Farakhan and Sharpton to hide out in when the SHTF!!!

[PGalt]

Hillaryous Rotten Criminal leading ANYONE in a poll would make that poll very suspect.

[Fai Mao]

The Tarp should never have been needed. But because the mismanagement of the economy by a democratically controlled congress under GW Bush it had to be done as did the Auto bail out. If you want to misery in America let the banking system collapse and take EVERYBODIES savings with it. See how you’d have liked it when EVERYBODIES house was repossessed. The issue I have with TARP is that nobody, no one from congress and nobody from a bank went to jail over it. Part of receiving bailout money should have been prosecution.

The same is true with the auto companies. If they’d gone bankrupt they’d be simply GONE. It is in the interest of the US to have some heavy industry. Could it have been handled better yes, but it was something that had to be done. Part of the bailout should have been breaking the UAW and securing worker pensions.

The Imminent domain complaint is partially true but over stated but at no point has Mr Trump broken the law. Mr Trump has attempted to use imminent domain but when his initiatives lost in court he walked away. That means he has obeyed the law. To do less than what he did would be irresponsible to his shareholders and employees. Where it becomes problematic is that I doubt that you can find one CEO of a property development company that has not done similar things. Thus, he is being held to a standard that cannot met by anyone. It appears that you have more of an issue with the legislatures and courts that write and enforce the law than you do the company trying to avail itself of the law.

The chart is duplicitous

[fortheDeclaration]

None of those guys could beat Hillary, only Trump can.
