Marco Rubio leads the GOP field in a new national poll and runs best against Hillary Clinton, a big shot for his campaign that's just over a week into effect.
Rubio takes 15 percent of the GOP primary vote, according to the Quinnipiac poll, with Jeb Bush earning 13 percent and Scott Walker 11 percent. No other candidate tops 9 percent and 14 percent remain undecided.
Clinton naturally blows away any Democratic competition and other Republicans, except 43-year-old Rubio. In a general election matchup, Clinton gets 45 percent of American voters to 43 percent for Rubio. That's better than other Republicans, including Bush whom Clinton leads 46-39.
“The youngest member of the GOP presidential posse moves to the front of the pack to challenge Hillary Clinton whose position in her own party appears rock solid,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. “This is the kind of survey that shoots adrenalin into a campaign. Marco Rubio gets strong enough numbers and favorability ratings to look like a legit threat to Hillary Clinton.”
Bush tops the “no way” list as 17 percent of Republican voters say they would definitely not support him. Chris Christie is next with 16 percent, with 10 percent for Rand Paul.
From April 16 – 21, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,353 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones. The survey includes 567 Republicans with a margin of error of +/- 4.1 percentage points and 569 Democrats with a margin of error of +/- 4.1 percentage points.

He’s at 15%. That’s hardly anything to celebrate or get upset over as the case may be.
Pardon me, but polls at this time are ridiculous. We’re a year and a half from the election. That’s several political lifetimes.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t be “for” somebody this early. I’m rooting for Cruz myself. But these polls are worthless.
I do not believe this for one second.
Rubio is Jeb's stalking horse.
Who says?...
There is no way I can take this poll seriously.
All the pro-sodomites who will totally dissolve our Constitution and flip Good and Evil of 3000 years for paganism/satanism ( “..Laws of Nature and nature’s God” Our “Justice” System totally EJECTED) for Luciferean religion (NWO) where using other human beings in vile, irrational ways is “Good” and promoted in “Just” (virtuous) Law.
Right Reason is ejected from Law and as Cicero stated, when Just Law ceases to be Just, culture collapses.
I’m very dubio ala Rubio in this dilusio...
This not Spanish, so don’t try to translate folks.
I’m dubious about this report and think it is delusional.
He’ll choke. He does not know how to deal with ‘gotcha’ questions.
Milquetoast at best....
President Romney knows a lot about this since he was recognized as the “most electable Republican” in 2012 against Barack Obama.
Let’s ask President Romney about the polls!
If Slick Willie’s wife is the best America can do for president, the country is in a lot deeper sh*t than most Americans say we are.
Only nine states will matter and it’s those polls that are worth taking.
Lame stream is getting desperate. Rubio is weaker than bush.
Rubio was played the the DEMS in the Senate. They knew this would hurt his chances at becoming President. Foolishly, he allowed himself to be a tool in their hands, so, I say he probably isn’t ready for prime time yet - if he can’t outsmart the DEMS - that doesn’t bode well when he will have to deal with American hating nations around the globe.
RE: Only nine states will matter and it’s those polls that are worth taking.
Let’s see:
Ohio
Florida
Virginia
Colorado
Michigan
Pennsylvania
Iowa
Wisconsin
North Carolina
