Poll: Clinton would crush Trump in general election


Hillary Clinton would crush Donald Trump in a hypothetical general election match-up, a new national survey found.


According to a Bloomberg Politics poll released Wednesday, Clinton leads Trump 54 percent to 36 percent in a contest between the two front-runners.

Also troubling for Trump, only 29 percent of likely general election voters nationally have a favorable view of him, compared to 68 percent who view him negatively.

Trump s favorability rating is at an all-time low in the survey, while his negative rating has gone up 13 points since November and has hit a new high.

Clinton is similarly under-water on favorability, with 44 percent saying they have positive view of her and 53 percent saying they view her negatively.

It also has Paul Ryan... Neither of these dudes are even in the race.

This sounds like some Sec. Hillary Clinton internal polling.

And her followers kept saying that general election poll maatchups don't mean a thing. Guess the marching orders changed the perspectives they want out there...
