Hillary Clinton leads GOP field in new poll

By Mark Hensch







Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton wins hypothetical matchups against every 2016 Republican White House hopeful, according to a new poll.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson fares best against the former secretary of State but still falls short among all registered voters in the MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist survey.
Clinton edges out Carson by 1 percentage point, 48 to 47 percent, pollsters found.
She would top Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) by 3 points, 48 to 45 percent.
Clinton's biggest lead over GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump — she enjoys an 11-point advantage over the outspoken billionaire. She earns 52 percent support from all registered voters versus 41 percent for Trump.
Clinton also leads Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) by 7 points and former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) by 4 points.
The new poll additionally found that voters split evenly over generic Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, with 45 percent backing each one.
MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist conducted its latest sampling of 2,360 registered voters from Nov. 15–Dec. 2. It has a 2 percent margin of error.
