G.O.P. closes gap with Hillary

"Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement, “This is the

kind of survey that shoots adrenalin into a campaign.  Marco Rubio gets strong enough numbers and favorability ratings to look like a legit threat to Hillary Clinton.” 

Indeed, in a hypothetical general election matchup, Clinton gets 45 percent of likely voters to 43 percent for Rubio.  She leads other top Republicans as follows:

• 45 – 40 percent over New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
• 46 – 42 percent over Rand Paul
• 47 – 42 percent over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee;
• 46 – 39 percent over Jeb Bush;
• 46 – 41 percent over Scott Walker;
• 48 – 41 percent over Ted Cruz." Yahoo
