Choose carefully, America. OR, risk a "President Trump, President Cruz or President Rubio". You've been warned.
But when the former secretary of state faces off with either of the other two top Republicans, things are much tighter and roughly the same as they were in January. Clinton trails against Rubio, with 50% choosing the Florida senator compared to 47% for Clinton, identical to the results in January. Against Cruz, Clinton holds 48% to his 49%, a slight tightening from a 3-point race in January to a 1-point match-up now.
Sanders -- who enjoys the most positive favorable rating of any presidential candidate in the field, according to the poll -- tops all three Republicans by wide margins: 57% to 40% against Cruz, 55% to 43% against Trump, and 53% to 45% against Rubio. Sanders fares better than Clinton in each match-up among men, younger voters and independents.

(1,021 posts)- I don't trust GE match-ups when it comes to Bernie simply because how he will perform is too difficult to predict. However, I do trust them when they come to results for Hillary, because she's a known commodity. It doesn't mean it's wrong on Bernie, but it's hard to say what will happen once the attacks start.
- The super delegates would be wise to pay attention to these kinds of results (again, even if only insofar as they pertain to Hillary) because they're committing mass suicide at this point. But the gravy train is too real for them, so... Nope.
