That might be a slight exaggeration. Hillary Clinton doesn’t lose to everyone in the latest Fox poll, released yesterday. She beats Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination, and ties Carly Fiorina in a general-election match-up. Other than that, though, it’s a Republican blitz, as The Hill notes:
Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) would do best against Clinton, 50 to 42 percent, pollsters found.
Billionaire Donald Trump, retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie would also win hypothetical elections, according to the new poll, taken after more than 100 people were killed and more than 300 others injured in a wave of terrorist attacks in Paris.
Clinton and former businesswoman Carly Fiorina would tie with 42 percent each.
Bear in mind in this poll that the sample split is 39% Democrats, 40% Republicans, and only 18% independents, so take this with a grain of salt. We should expect at least an electoral turnout model that has 30-35% independents. Would that help Hillary in this poll? Interestingly, more independents in this survey plan to vote in Republican primaries than Democratic primaries (18/30), but some of that may be more related to the fact that the latter is all but certain to produce Hillary as the nominee. The Republican primaries is where the action is, after all. That may or may not indicate that indies will lean against Hillary, though.
Taking this at face value, Hillary doesn’t get above 43% against any of the Republicans, and that’s … similar to what we’ve seen in other polling, albeit perhaps a bit more extreme. That’s a yuuuge problem for someone as well-known and defined as Hillary, who’s practically running as an incumbent. Rubio’s the only candidate to get to majority against Hillary, but none of them are as well known and have more upside potential in a general election campaign. Hillary may have a ceiling that falls below 50%, and that’s a big, big problem.
Oddly, Fox doesn’t break independents out in the crosstab demos for the head-to-head matchups. They do break out GOP/Dem voters, and this has some interesting data, too. Hillary gets her best GOP crossover when matched up against Ben Carson (11%), but Carson gets the best Democrat crossover against Hillary (17%) for a net +5 for Carson. Rubio gets the best crossover spread at +15%/-8% (+7) and gets a tie among women, 46/46. Hillary wins women in every other H2H match-up, but only by double digits against Trump (49/38). Even in what seems to be a skewed sample, Hillary’s problems still emerge.
The Republican primary race hasn’t changed too much in order, but Carson has slipped slightly over the last couple of weeks:
Both Rubio and Cruz have benefited from Carson’s slight fade, still tied for third place but now at 14% each. Pretty much everyone else has slipped into the second division, including Jeb Bush, whose 5% is virtually indistinguishable from five other candidates at 3% and 2%. This poll re-emphasizes that voters have coalesced around these top four candidates — and that any of the four have a shot at beating Hillary, although a better sample might give us a more reliable look at just how strong a shot they have.
BINGO! We have a WINNER!
No, that previous poster has it correct, it is her undoing.
Sky Diving Grandma Loses Her Denture - Outrageous, Hilarious
This grandma had the desire to Sky Dive and made a Tandem Jump with a Photographer to capture the experience. Unfortunately, the Photographer asked her to "Smile Wide for the Camera"
Good correction.
Paris IS her doing. As well as her soul-sister, Barry.
All those loud pops you hear; are liberal and rino heads exploding, it’s becoming a daily ever increasing phenomenon.
They gravely fear Cruz and his cruzade for their extinction.
It is Biteme time!
“They are already laughing at us for whining about their cheating. Again.”
H. L. Mencken wrote, “No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”
I used to think that was funny, right up to the re-election of William Jefferson Airplane Klinocchio.
The Nairobi Negro and the Hildebeest are going to get away with everything, just like the bent one did, because “the great masses of the plain people” are ridiculous morons. Which is why the Founding Fathers did not allow them to vote.
I’ll be so glad when Hitlery and “Slick Willy” are out of the news!
The last news story I want to see is pictures of them in tennis shoes and orange jump suits headed for the Colorado Super-Max!
You just know this headline is going to be incorporated into possibly hundreds of millions of Thanksgiving Meal prayers.
As it should
I propose a toast to the fact of a definite toast.
I don’t think they want to win in 2016.
They are scared to death and they want the grown ups to save them from themselves.
They already have the results programmed.
I hadn’t thought of that... but it’s the only thing that makes sense.
PRESIDENT Ted Cruz!
