Poll: Trump beats all Democrats
Another argument advanced by establishment Republicans against Donald Triump's candidacy fell by the wayside as a new poll shows The Donald beating every Democratic candidate in the general election - including Hillary Clinton.
The poll by SurveyUSA finds that matched up directly, Trump garners 45 percent to Clinton’s 40 percent.
In other head-to-head matchups, Trump beats out Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) by 44 percent to 40 percent; Vice President Joe Biden by 44 percent to 42 percent; and former Vice President Al Gore by 44 percent to 41 percent.The poll also found that 30 percent of respondents believe Trump will eventually be the Republican nominee, leading the field.Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush came in second, with 20 percent saying they expect him to win the nomination. Following Bush in order were retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).The poll surveyed 1,000 adults across the nation Sept. 2-3, and it had a margin of error of 3.3 percent.
The polling outfit - Survey USA - is rated "A" in Nate Silver's pollster rankings with a very small GOP bias. It's the clearest sign yet that the nomination is, at this point, Trump's to lose.
