Fox News Poll: Cruz, Kasich Ahead of Clinton In 2016 Hypothetical Matchups
By Dana Blanton Published March 23, 2016 FoxNews.com
Republicans are eager to win back the White House in 2016. A new Fox News national poll finds both John Kasich and Ted Cruz ahead of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in hypothetical matchups, while Donald Trump trails her. Kasich does best against Clinton. He has a double-digit advantage and also comes in above the 50 percent mark: 51 percent to Clinton’s 40 percent. Cruz is preferred over Clinton by three percentage points (47-44 percent). Clinton tops GOP front-runner Donald Trump by 11 points (49-38 percent).

“Trump would likely win New York in the general. GAME OVER.”
On what survey data do you base that very hopeful sentiment. I’d love to see ‘em.
LS, you are referring to votes in a primary. There’s no correlation to what happens in the general.
The reality is that polls this far out are useless. Hillary’s have a tough time beating crazy Bernie.
Rather than argue this, how about I just get back to you guys in November? If I’m wrong, I’ll dutifully acknowledge your clarity of insight.
FReep on!
Thumbs up on that one.
A little background on the correlation between primary vote turnout vs that of the general election:
Down to 3 and Trump still can’t get over 50% in a state. A bar Cruz has now met.
A bar Cruz met in one caucus state, in a ballot-stuffed, poorly-run-by-Mormons election.
You know, where Whackjob Glenn Beck pronounced Cruz as the embodiment of the Mormon White Horse prophecy, and Bishop Romney swooped in to collect political favors from other Mormon bishops.
Big deal.
Utah would be the only state THAT would work in.
The real fun starts now.
“Whitehorse” doesn’t play well in the NE.
>>There were initially 17 candidates on the Republican side versus 3 on the Democrat side.<<
That is the salient point: who the competition is.
There’s been no opportunity yet for comparing and contrasting Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton in real time. That will occur in the general election campaign.
Once it’s Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton standing side-by-side, there’ll be no doubt in the electorates mind. Hillary is a terrible candidate.
Unlikable, under a cloud of controversy over Benghazi, illegal email server, Clinton foundation pay-for-play, old scandals brought to the surface. Two full-scale FBI investigations. Hillary is a walking disaster for the Democrats.
Trump will brand Hillary within seconds and beat her like a rented mule in November.
