BIDEN, CARSON ARE STRONGEST IN GENERAL ELECTION,

QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS;
FIORINA THUMPS TRUMP IN DEBATE; TIES CLINTON IN MATCHUP
Vice President Joseph Biden, the Democrat, and Dr. Ben Carson, the Republican, trail in their
respective party races for the presidential nomination, but run strongest in general election
matchups with other top contenders, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released
today.
Carly Fiorina out-performed Donald Trump in last weeks presidential debate,
Republican voters say 4-1, but she still trails Trump and Carson in the race for the nomination,
the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.
Trump leads the Republican primary pack with 25 percent, followed by 17 percent for
Carson, 12 percent for Fiorina, 10 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and 9 percent for
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. No other candidate tops 7 percent, with 9 percent undecided.
But 29 percent of GOP voters say they would definitely not support Trump.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gets 43 percent of Democrats, with 25 percent
for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, 18 percent for Biden and 10 percent undecided.
Only 11 percent of Democrats say they would definitely not support Clinton.
The cast of characters changes by the week, with Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina in the
spotlight and Gov. Jeb Bush still waiting for his big break. And Donald Trump still in the lead
role, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
But when the number of Republicans who would definitely not support you is greater
than the number who support you, where does that leave you? Welcome to Trump World,
comparing his fragile support from his own party to Hillary Clintons sagging but still stronger
support from her party.
