Source: Marist Polling

In hypothetical general election tossups, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads her potential Republican rivals among registered voters nationally. Clinton does best against businessman Donald Trump, leading him by 13 points. Her closest competitor, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, trails Clinton by just four points. Among Latino voters, Clinton outpaces Trump by 47 points, Cruz by 33 points, and Rubio and Bush by 30 points. President Barack Obama carried the Latino vote in 2012 over Republican nominee Mitt Romney by 44 points.

1. This poll is incomplete!

When is some pollster going to have the decency to compare Bernie to everybody else?

[SoapBox]

4. Ditto!!!!

Especially since they also polled with Biden...noting IF he gets into the race.

What a poll of crap.

6. Several pollsters have put Bernie in matchups against Republicans

See http://www.270towin.com/2016-polls/2016-general-election-matchups/ - a page that updates as new ones come out. You can use the dropdown lists to pick out particular candidates, or look at them all. SurveyUSA, Public Policy, Quinnipiac, and earlier, CNN/ORC, have all included Sanders.

2. I think

its because he still has small national recognition?

Hillary fans, tweet RCP and tell them to stop ignoring this latest Marist poll:

https://twitter.com/RealClearNews

they posted all other Marist polls almost immediately after it was released, so far they have ignored this one.

9. its crazy

the poll is no different than the NBC/Marist poll from Sept 6

NBC paid for it, Marist conducted it. In this latest poll, MSNBC and Telemundo paid for it, and Marist coducted it. Even the same people conducted it. Yet RCP wont post it.

3. Phrasing!

Makes it sound like Clinton is running for the GOP nomination.

[PSPS]

5. LOL. The media's chant: "Must have horse race. Must have horse race. Ads to sell. Ads to sell."

Calling Bush "most competitive" is nothing more than an artful phrase. The GOP won't be winning the white house no matter who gets the democratic nomination. And, of course, they left out He Who Must Not Be Named.
