Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have solidified their positions atop the Republican presidential pack, but their success doesn't bode well for the Republican Party's chances of reclaiming the White House, according to a new poll.
Trump, who's topped GOP national surveys since July, takes a beating against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, with the former secretary of state claiming 50% to Trump's 40%, according an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Monday.
Cruz is also behind Clinton in a general election match-up -- albeit by a slimmer margin -- as Cruz falling 3 points short of Clinton's 48% support in the poll.

Rubio, who now sits in third place in the GOP horse race with 15%, would defeat Clinton 48% to 45%, according to the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.
Rubio performs strongly among independents against Clinton -- 44% to 37% -- and narrows the Democrat's advantage with Hispanics, clinching 36% of that demographic to Clinton's 59%.

Manufactured nonsense.
This was a poll of likely Democrat voters, right?
As usual with Communist News Network, the opposite of what they say is true.
All the polls showed that Carter would beat Reagan...we all know how that turned out.
Hillary will beat Rubio..he’s the GOP fall guy.
Was at my Yacht club and the vast majority are going for Trump.
People who vote for their own race because of race should be exported.
OK, that does it! I’m convinced!
Switching my vote to Marco!
Venceremos !
CNN’s own poll shows Trump crushing nationwide. When you take this much flak, you know you’re over the target.
Go, Trump!!
Well, this isn’t transparent.
NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll....................................The Nobody But Clinton News network with the Wall Street Urinal......................BTW does anybody happen to know how ‘Wall Street’ got its name?.....................
Great laugh! I needed that.
At this time in 1979, Reagan 32%, Carter 62%
I'll bite. How?
Yeah, and Carter was ahead of Reagan by scads at this point in 1979, and Dukakis had a 17 point lead on George the Elder in September 1988. Poll means nada.
Manufactured polls of “All adults” are noise, not news.
Yep, too early for head to heads with Clintoon as she has yet to be questioned by a serious reporter or general election candidate or legitimate primary opponent.
Lol. Maybe they did the poll in the newsroom.
