Sanders 49%-Cruz 39% vs. Clinton 47%-Cruz 42% / Sanders 47%-Carson 41% vs. Clinton 46%-Cruz 43% /

Sanders 49%-Trump 41% vs. Clinton 47%-Cruz 41%.

In addition to confirming that "Sanders does just as well, or even better, against top Republicans," today's Quinnipiac poll shows the candidates' favorable/unfavorable ratings:

(+13).....(44 - 31 percent) for Sanders
(+9).......(37 - 28 percent) for Rubio
(+7).......(40 - 33 percent) for Carson
(even)....(33 - 33 percent) for Cruz
(-6)........(44 - 51 percent) for Clinton

Most importantly, today's poll also has data on the voters' perception of the candidates as honest and trustworthy or not:

(+31).....(59 - 28 percent) for Sanders
(+19).....(53 - 34 percent) for Carson
(+16).....(49 - 33 percent) for Rubio
(+4).......(43 - 39 percent) for Cruz
(-24)......(60 - 36 percent) for Clinton
(-24)......(59 - 35 percent) for Trump

I say this rating for honesty and trustworthiness is the most important number because voters place such a high emphasis on honesty and trustworthiness:
