Republicans want a candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton. A new Fox News poll finds Marco Rubio performs best against the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Rubio has an eight-point edge: 50 percent to Clinton's 42 percent.
Then again, Clinton -- who commands 55 percent support among Democratic primary voters, easily outpacing Bernie Sanders (32 percent) and Martin O'Malley (3 percent) -- trails all top-tier Republicans in hypothetical 2016 face-offs.
Jeb Bush is ahead of Clinton by six points (45-39 percent). She trails both Ben Carson (47-42 percent) and Donald Trump (46-41 percent) by five. Ted Cruz bests her by four (45-41 percent), while Chris Christie has a three-point edge (46-43 percent).
Carly Fiorina fares the worst against Clinton: they tie at 42 percent. Women go for Clinton over Fiorina by four points, while men back Fiorina by six points.
Trump also tops Sanders by five points (46-41 percent).
Rubio not only commands the widest margin against Clinton, he's the only one who hits the 50 percent mark. Rubio's margin comes entirely from men, who go for him over Clinton by 17 points. The two are tied among women voters.
This is the first time Rubio has topped Clinton, although itâs always been close -- she was up by just one point in June (45 Clinton vs. 44 Rubio).

Oh boy that’s it! No more Trump - I’m for Senior amnesty now! PLEEEEEEEEEZE!
RE: Promise Rubio enough money and you can buy the exact same “package” from him.
Can you show me the precedent for that where he compromised his stance for money?
OK, I’ll grant you immigration (which I’m not even sure is about money). What about the other issues?
I think Rubio has a good shot at the nomination. He would be formidable in a general election.
GOPe in PANIC mode.
Another attempt by the MSM to select our candidate for us. Remember in 2008 how McCain was, according to the polls, the strongest candidate to beat Obama. In fact, he was the weakest candidate. Once he got the nomination, the NYT and the MSM destroyed McCain.
Rubio would assure that we have amnesty. He and Ryan would ram it through.
Hell, they ALL beat her...this is going to be a route.
Marco is so liberal, he’s even more liberal on Immigration than Hillary!
Hillary can easily run to the right of Rubio... and confuse the voters.
No big deal....look at the poll closely
Lol!
I love how the GOPe and their allies have been so predictable this year.
Every move they’ve made has been charged on FR weeks in advance.
Ruubeeeeeoooooooooooo...............................
..........brings ‘em in from Meeehheeecooooo!!!
Between this guy and Hillary, there won’t be much difference anyway, both are owned by the same puppet masters, that’s the whole problem with the GOPe, and the Dems.. .end of the day, the people wind up taking the same crap, with the only difference being the brand of toilet paper.
Is Fox News still a thing?

Last I checked was over 5 years ago so I am not sure.
What is the Margin of Error in these polls?
So Trump beat Hitlery by 5% and Boobio beats her by 8%, is that a big deal? Or is that inside the margin of error?
Trump’s crowds are bigger than Boobio’s crowds. And Boobio has never led in any poll thus far.
Stop watching polls. The one that counts is at the ballot box.
If you think a vote for Rubio or any of the GOPe candidates will make a damned bit of major difference from a Democratic administration you haven’t been paying attention for several decades.
2008 and 2012 revisited. Expect for the next 90 days for Fox to push the Rino candidate Rubio full force 24/7.
Do those numbers include possible vote theft, ballot forgeries and all the other political tricks that will be used to defeat Trump/Cruz?
What are Marco Rubio’s greatest accomplishments?
A bag of hammers would govern better than Shrillary.
