National Poll: Clinton, Sanders Both Top Trump
By Jennifer Agiesta, CNN Polling Director Wed March 2, 2016
Both of the remaining Democratic candidates for president easily top Republican front-runner Donald Trump in hypothetical general election match-ups, according to a new CNN/ORC poll
Clinton tops Trump 52% to 44% among registered voters Washington (CNN)Both of the remaining Democratic candidates for president easily top Republican front-runner Donald Trump in hypothetical general election match-ups, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll.

But Hillary Clinton, who is well ahead in the Democratic race for the presidency, would likely face a stronger challenge should Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz capture the Republican nomination for president.
In the scenario that appears most likely to emerge from the primary contests, Clinton tops Trump 52% to 44% among registered voters. That result has tilted in Clinton's favor since the last CNN/ORC Poll on the match-up in January.
But when the former secretary of state faces off with either of the other two top Republicans, things are much tighter and roughly the same as they were in January. Clinton trails against Rubio, with 50% choosing the Florida senator compared to 47% for Clinton, identical to the results in January. Against Cruz, Clinton holds 48% to his 49%, a slight tightening from a 3-point race in January to a 1-point match-up now.

CNN executive #1: Hillary is in so much trouble. How can we make sure she wins the election?
CNN executive #2: It’s starting to look like she might not win even if the Rethugs nominate that racist clown Trump! Hey wait a minute... Are you seeing what I’m seeing?
CNN executive #1: If you’re seeing the Repugs cracking at the seams because of the racist homophobic Bible-thumping Teabaggers and country clubbers beating each other up over Trump, I sure am!
CNN executive #2: Sweet! You know, that pill-popper Lame-baugh had an excellent idea one time. You remember Operation Chaos? Cause as much chaos in the opposing party as possible with as little effort as possible?
CNN executive #1: Yeah, vaguely.
CNN executive #2: We can do that! Our own Operation Chaos! We just trot out our usual lying polls, except THESE will be about how the Reflubs’ highest-rated candidate, that is, the most hated one and the one who can trounce Hillary, can’t possibly beat our girl in the general election!
CNN executive #1: You know what? They may actually buy that! DO IT!
CNN and all liberals have no moral compass; lying, including about polls, is fair game.
These polls are meant to select our candidates for us. They are really meaningless until both parties have their nominees and the battle is joined.
Reagan trailed Carter by 30 points at one time.
While I do understand what you are saying (while I personally believe, it's not sustainable which may be what the establishment wants with possibly Cloward-Piven), I was referring to people who post here.
You would think they would understand not to get caught up in the enemedia's agenda.

Trump leads Rubio Even Head To Head in Florida (Trump 52%, Rubio 38%; Trump 46% v. Hillary 44%)
Public Policy Polling ^ | February 25, 2016

PPP’s newest Florida Republican poll (conducted Wednesday and Thursday before the debate) finds Donald Trump dominant in the state. He’s getting 45% to 25% for Marco Rubio, 10% for Ted Cruz, 8% for John Kasich, and 5% for Ben Carson.
The most remarkable thing in this poll though is what happens when you narrow the field down to just Trump and Rubio- Trump still leads by double digits at 52/38. Rubio does win over supporters of Cruz (56/25), Kasich (47/32), and Carson (64/21) in such a scenario. But Trump has such a big lead to begin with and picks up enough of the supporters of the also rans that it gives him the overall 14 point advantage.
Rubio’s trouble doesn’t end there. His approval rating as Senator has cratered to a 31/55 spread, compared to a much more evenly divided 41/44 when we last polled the state in September. Only 40% of voters in the state think he should continue with his campaign, compared to a 44% plurality who think it’s time for him to drop out. And he narrowly trails both Hillary Clinton (45/43) and Bernie Sanders (44/42) in head to head general election match ups. Rubio’s become quite unpopular at home over the course of his campaign.
Winning has made Trump more popular. 64% of Republicans in Florida now have a favorable opinion of him to only 27% with a negative one. That actually puts him ahead of Rubio’s 60/28 standing. The most broadly popular Republican for what little it’s worth is Carson at 65/18. Kasich’s at 53/22, and for the second state in a row we find Cruz under water at 39/48. We found that he had slipped into negative territory on our final South Carolina poll as well.
Things are still somewhat fluid in Florida- 36% of voters say they might change their minds between now and the primary. But Trump has by far the most committed supporters- 79% say they will definitely vote for him, compared to 62% for Cruz, 54% for Rubio, 44% for Kasich, and just 26% for Carson. When you look at the standings just among voters who’ve completely made up their minds Trump goes up to 59% to 22% for Rubio, 10% for Cruz, 6% for Kasich, and 2% for Carson.
Trump’s hold on the GOP electorate is thorough. He leads with 51% of men, 51% of younger voters, 49% of moderates, 43% of somewhat conservative voters, 41% of seniors, 39% of women, and 39% of very conservative voters. There’s not a single group we track he doesn’t have a double digit lead with. Beyond leading the head to head with Rubio, Trump also gets 51% in a three man field to 33% for Rubio, and 11% for Cruz. And he leads Cruz 62/30 head to head.
On the Democratic side Hillary Clinton has a dominant advantage, getting 57% to 32% for Bernie Sanders. Clinton’s particularly strong among African Americans with whom she leads 68/26, but she’s also up 54/34 with whites and 54/40 with Hispanics. Clinton also benefits from Florida having an older Democratic primary electorate- her 66/23 advantage with seniors takes her further here than it does other places. Another thing working to Clinton’s advantage is Florida having a closed primary- we’ve consistently found her up big with Democrats but Sanders’ strength with independents cuts significantly into her lead in open primary states. 85% of Clinton’s supporters say they’re firmly committed to her, compared to 61% of Sanders’ who say the same for him.
The general election match ups in Florida are generally close. Trump is the only Republican to lead the Democratic hopefuls- he gets 46% to Clinton’s 44%, and 47% to Sanders’ 44%. Michael Bloomberg gets 10-11% as an independent- he takes pretty equally from Clinton and Trump, leaving Trump up 42-41. But in a scenario with Trump and Sanders he takes mostly from the Democrat, leaving Trump with an 11 point lead at 45/34. Clinton and Sanders do have wider leads over Cruz at 47/39 and 46/39 respectively.
Finally we find that 38% of Florida voters think it’s possible that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. 10% say he for sure is, and another 28% say that they are just not sure. Cruz is exonerated from being a toddler serial killer by 62% of the Sunshine State populace.

Because they believe Trump has the Republican nomination locked up and have decided to get an early start on taking him down in the general election.
Please keep saying this.Nobody but the author and the dopes in the Beltway believes it, but please please keep saying it.

Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton: Bill Richardson

Democrats should not expect the path to the White House to be a cakewalk if Hillary Clinton faces Donald Trump in November, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said Friday.
“We’ve got to be very careful because Trump has tapped into a negativity, a populism that is out there, and I think we have to work extra hard” to attract young voters and turn out the party’s base, the 2008 Democratic presidential contender told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Clinton will be a strong candidate, he said, but she will have to overcome her party’s shift far left of the American electorate. Trump also brings a fair amount of Democrats into his coalition, Gregg said.

"I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this CNN poll!"
LOLOLOLOLOL!
What do you expect? Obama had 54% wasn’t it voting for him? That same 54% will be voting for either of the commies, the heavy handed commie and the soft commie. Which ever one they pick the gang-mob will vote for because the same pack of lies will come out in this election just the same as the last one. The same pack of lies will say that whoever the RINOs put up will take away all their free stuff. Threating to take away the free stuff will do just like the last election, they will run to the polls, several times, to vote for Klinton and the commie party. Amerika put a commie in these last two elections, they will continue this one and probably all after this one. The One Worlders will see to that.
Trump losing in this poll? Toss it.
There have been polls that are questionable, but you can't dismiss every poll that says something you don't want to believe.
Do you really want to be the guy who talks about "lying polls" all the way up to the election when your candidate loses?
Hillary may be slightly ahead of him but I doubt Bernie is.
The old media and the old GOPe have too much invested in their status quo. Nothing can be trusted.
There are numerous polls where Republicans to the tune of 30-40% won’t vote for Trump if he is the nominee.
He’s a sure loser.
Registered voters. Not likely. Trump ahead now in 2 key EC states, FL and OH ( Mittens and McLame lost both)
