Both Hillary Clinton And Bernie Sanders Could Beat Donald Trump, Poll Says

Either Democratic presidential candidate could handily defeat Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in the general election, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads Trump 52 percent to 44 percent among registered voters and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leads Trump 55 percent to 43 percent, according to the poll.

These estimates line up with other polling data -- HuffPost Pollster's average has shown Clinton and Sanders polling higher than Trump, although prinmary poll matchups aren't predictive of what will happen once the general election campaigns start.

But if Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) or Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were nominated instead of Trump, Clinton might face more of an uphill battle, according to the poll -- Rubio tops Clinton at 50 percent to 47 percent and Cruz slightly leads 49 percent to 48 percent.
