FOR RELEASE: NOVEMBER 4, 2015
THE DOCTOR IS IN AS CARSON TIES TRUMP IN GOP RACE, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS; CARSON TOPS CLINTON BY 10 POINTS IN GENERAL ELECTION One year before Election Day 2016, Dr. Ben Carson is virtually tied with Donald Trump as strong front-runners for the Republican nomination, and Carson tops former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 50 – 40 percent in the final face-off, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today. Trump gets 24 percent of Republican votes, with Carson at 23 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 14 percent, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 13 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 4 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. No other candidate tops 3 percent, with 9 percent undecided, and 63 percent who might change their mind. Among Republicans, 25 percent of voters say they “would definitely not support” Trump, with 23 percent who would not back Bush. Clinton gets 53 percent of Democrats, with 35 percent for Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, with 9 percent undecided and 44 percent who might change their mind. Only 8 percent of Democrats say they “would definitely not support” Clinton. “Is there a doctor in the house? There certainly is and at the moment Dr. Ben Carson is delivering a troubling diagnosis to Secretary Hillary Clinton,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. “With the election one year away, Ben Carson has surgically cut away all but one GOP opponent and taken a scalpel to Hillary Clinton's lead. “But a year is an eternity in presidential campaigns and this race already has left some former front-runners on life support. “Clinton gets crushed on character issues, pounded by Carson and closely challenged by Sen. Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio.” -more
