It is also noteworthy that a greater proportion of American voters – 33 percent – said they would feel proud of Clinton as president than said they would feel proud of Trump – 23 percent.
The CNN/ORC survey gives Trump a far bigger lead than a poll released Tuesday by Quinnipiac University.
The poll, with a margin of error of 4.5 percentage points, was conducted following the latest Republican primary debate, in which Trump and Cruz were seen as performing well.
More than half of Republican voters, 56 percent, said Trump did not have the right experience to be president in May, with 41 percent saying he did. Cruz has suggested Rubio does not have a path to victory in any of the first four early voting states, where Cruz has implied Rubio’s outreach has been halfhearted and created to avoid tough questions from Republican primary voters. In interviews conducted before the debate, Sanders ran closer to Clinton, with 37 percent support to Clinton’s 45 percent.
The problem for Republicans is that this requires an unprecedented amount of discipline on part of the aforementioned establishment candidates, who now maintain substantial support in New Hampshire. The Florida senator and his campaign have aggressively sought to show he and Cruz have similar positions on immigration, which Cruz has dismissed as an attempt to muddy the waters.

Like the Trump head-to-head, those gaps are within the margin of error. Rubio also performed well in the debate, and is the establishment’s only hope, and he lost two points.
Las Vegas highlighted how Trump has established alpha-dog dominance in the Republican field.
How insane an outcome would it be if the focus on national security that Republicans themselves wanted ended up either (at best) maximizing the damage Trump does to the GOP or (at worst) helping to stick them with Donald Trump as the nominee? “And it’s been very upsetting for him”, said Sanders.
