Hillary Clinton beats the GOP’s two top candidates in head-to-head matchups, but loses to lower-rated Republicans in the latest NBC News poll.
In the 2016 presidential election were held today and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump was the Republican nominee, Democrat Hillary Clinton would take the White House by a huge ten point margin, 50-40. So says a just-released NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Were rising star Ted Cruz the GOP nominee, Clinton would still win, but by three points.
Surprisingly, Ben Carson, despite his dramatic downturn in the polls, from first to now fourth in this poll, would beat the Democratic frontrunner, 47-46. And Marco Rubio, whose standing continues to be sporadic, would also beat Hillary Clinton, 48-45.
But Clinton would grab key demographic groups against Rubio, including Hispanics 59-36, and women, 51-44.Â
Clinton also beats Trumps share of women voters by a huge margin, 57-33.
The poll released did not show head-to-head matchup between Bernie Sanders and any GOP candidate, but shows Clinton ahead of Sanders, 56-37, with Martin O’Malley at four percent.
