For the Democratic nomination, Quinnipiac moved strongly towards Hillary today. Their last poll showed Hillary leading Bernie by 18 points. Today’s poll had Hillary surging to a 30 point lead.
American voters shift to Clinton as the Democrat gains ground against Republicans
On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton widens her lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont to 60 – 30 percent, compared to 53 – 35 percent in a November 4 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley has 2 percent, with 6 percent undecided.
Huge, huge jump in the head-to-heads between both Democrats and the GOPers.
“Dr. Ben Carson, moving to center stage just one month ago, now needs some CPR. The Doctor sinks. The Donald soars. The GOP, 11 months from the election, has to be thinking, ‘This could be the guy.’ “Secretary Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders have to be hoping Trump is the GOP’s guy.”
American voters shift to Clinton as the Democrat gains ground against Republicans:
47 – 41 percent over Trump, compared to 46 – 43 percent November 4;
Clinton at 45 percent to Rubio’s 44 percent, compared to a 46 – 41 percent Rubio lead last month;
Clinton tops Cruz 47 – 42 percent, compared to Cruz at 46 percent to Clinton’s 43 percent last month;
Clinton at 46 percent to Carson’s 43 percent compared to Carson’s 50 – 40 percent lead last month.
Sanders does just as well, or even better, against top Republicans:
Topping Trump 49 – 41 percent;
Getting 44 percent to Rubio’s 43 percent;
Beating Cruz 49 – 39 percent; Leading Carson 47 – 41 percent
On the Republican side, Trump gets his obligatory 27 percent, but looks more formidable today because Carson is fading away.
Eleven months before the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump is the undisputed leader in the Republican field, as Dr. Ben Carson, in a virtual tie with Trump four weeks ago, drops to third place, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.
……
Trump gets 27 percent of Republican voters today, with 17 percent for Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, 16 percent each for Carson and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and 5 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. No other candidate tops 3 percent, with 8 percent undecided. Last month, Trump had 24 percent, with 23 percent for Carson.
