New results from our NBC-Wall Street Journal poll show if the presidential election were held today, there’s only one Republican Hillary Clinton can’t beat. Ted Cruz of Texas, with ten percent, and former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, with eight percent.

Malloy continued, “Clinton gets crushed on character issues, pounded by Carson and closely challenged by Sen”.
Elon surveyed 1,040 registered voters statewide between October 29 and November 2 for the poll, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
News reported that after the latest in the Republican primary, Donald Trump and Ben Carson are now neck-and-neck in the national poll.
Donald Trump is back in the lead in Iowa, according to a new CNN/ORC global poll. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio found himself in third place with 14 percent after his well thought-out response to Bush’s criticism over “going to work as a senator”. The only comparable Republican is New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who gets 17 percent of black voters against Clinton.
The poll is another show of strength for Carson, who has emerged as an unlikely frontrunner for the GOP nomination despite modest debate performances and a series of controversial statements. But Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are rising.
Carson also scores best among all candidates in the “cares about my needs and problems” category, which is scored as the second most important attribute this time around, and was seen as perhaps the most important in the 2012 election. Cruz also had more people disliking him than liking him, while Carson, Sanders and Rubio all had more people liking than disliking them. None of the other candidate topped 3 percent, with 9 percent undecided, and 63 percent who might change their mind. Dr. Ben Carson is the top choice for women, grabbing 25% support among female GOP primary voters. Interviewers called land lines and cell phones.
