Email-gate may have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, but evidently the scandal hasnt trickled down to the grassroots levelat least not yet. And perhaps it never will. To wit, a newish CNN/ORC poll, which conducted head-to-head hypothetical matchups between Hillary Clinton and all the leading presumptive Republican hopefuls, is anything but positive news for the GOP. Though Jeb Bush (16 percent) leads the pack of Republicans, no candidate even comes close to defeating Hillary Clinton one-on-one (via Bill Kristol):
none of the top candidates in this field gets within 10 points of Hillary Clinton in a series of hypothetical general election matchups.
Rand Paul comes closest, with 43% saying they'd be more likely to back him while 54% choose Clinton. The two candidates who currently top the GOP field, Bush and Walker, match up equally against Clinton, with each carrying 40% to her 55%. Huckabee gets 41% to Clinton's 55% and Carson has 40% to Clinton's 56%.

Will the men of America organize to stop the threat? What do patriots do when the entity attacking America and electing communist candidates are a majority of single females at the polling places?
Wait wait wait wait. Who are the CNNetwits polling? Fifty-four percent of REPUBLICANS say, “Yeah, I’d say Hillary is in the lead”?
“How is that even possible?”
Easy! Liberals will vote for the dem. Women will vote for the dem. Teachers will vote for the dem. Union members will vote for the dem. Bureaucrats will vote for the dem. Blacks will vote for the dem. Latinos will vote for the dem. Jews will vote for the dem. Welfare recipients will as well as those not working. Many of these groups overlap.
Perhaps this poll factors in the illegals who can’t vote now but will be voting by 2016.
One of the absolute last things I would ever believe would include anything from CNN/ORC, therefore I didn’t read the article.
“Parting question: How is that even possible?
It isn’t, it’s manipulation by the MSM too discourage republican voters, nothing else.”
Precisely, and one of the major reasons anything from CNN/ORC cannot ever be believed. CNN is in the bag for the Clinton’s, and always has been as well Opinion Research Corp. is a solid Clinton organization from the top down.
The barrage of crap coming out of CNN/ORC over the past week, and that which will continue to come from that source in the future is nothing but Leftist tactic to discourage Republican voters about their candidates chances against Hillary the inevitable. CNN/ORC is on a BS campaign.
Conservatives cannot underestimate liberals for a third time in a row. Obama beat McCain by 9.5 million votes and he beat Romney by 5 million votes.
There are still alot of liberals in America and Hillary Clinton is the name brand candidate if she runs in 2016. A lot of folks go for the name brand that they recognize the most.
“Obama won his second term (+4 points vs Romney) with $4 gasoline, 8% unemployment (13% actual), trillion dollar deficits, surging food prices, and totally failed foreign policy (Benghazi).
By those numbers, these are the good times so its not difficult at all to see Hillary doing better.”
People vote their wallets. My late father taught me that.
Hillary (or the alternative democrat) will run on continuation of the good times Obama brought back, and the Clinton good times. If you got a job, or kept your job it is thanks to Obama and democrats. And keeping us out of wars.
Republicans will be stuck defending the Bush destruction of the economy to help their fat cat big business supporters. And accused of letting 9/11/2001 happen and then taking us into Iraq.
A lot of big money will go with the democrat status quo. Big government, oligopoly, etc.
Fear based rhetoric by an angry constitutionalist from the right, don’t defeat a job.
People on sites like this can delude themselves, into thinking if the speech is just more intense, the candidate more accurate, they will win.
That is the plot which I foresee, for this election. It doesn’t matter much who the candidates are, for the two sides either.
Their challenge is to try and sell the public "a PIG in a poke"
Another survey without Ted Cruz.
************
Cruz was in the poll and came in at 4%. He and others weren’t
in the head to head comparison.

The poll only means two things. The first is they are
afraid to put Cruz in the poll

Sorta like Mike Dukakis’ 17 point lead in 1988.
Ron Brown died in an aircraft accident due to a pilot screw up in weather.
Don’t be like a liberal with half facts and conspiracy theories.
CNN Poll: Your first clue its a lie.
Let’s see if that changes after we read her emails.
No doubt she’ll have that “double-digit lead” right through the exit polls and probably through Ted Cruz’s first 4 years as president.
It is very difficult to believe that Ted Cruz came in at 4%. Are they just surveying Republican “leaders” (ie the elite backstabbers)?
This poll means nothing at this stage regarding what the Republican Primay/General
election will look like in 2016. It however is valuable info for some such as Cruz
as it gives him a look at how well he is known amongst the public at large. Thus
things he’ll need to improve on that will will help him increase his acceptance.
Remember Cruz isn’t a well known person in the general public yet or even GOP
voters who don’t follow politics closely. JMO.
Click the link I provided up thread and look at the questions/answers.
Pollsters are at it here in soviet Red Hampshire already...the one I got on the phone this morning was exceptionally pushy...usually when I tell them to get lost; they take a hint and move on. I had to hang up on this one.
