Trump Towers Over the Democratic Field
If he were to become the Republican nominee for the presidential election, Donald Trump would defeat any potential Democratic opponent including Hillary Clinton, according to a recently released poll.
SurveyUSA, a New York-based polling group, found that if the 2016 presidential election were held today, the Donald would narrowly defeat Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore or Bernie Sanders if put to a one-on-one contest.
In results released Saturday, Trump scored 45 percent to Clinton's 40 percent, 44 percent to Sanders' 40 percent, 44 percent to Biden's 42 percent, and 44 percent to Gore's 41 percent.
"SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 adults Sept. 2-3. Of the adults, 900 were registered to vote. Of the registered voters, 58 percent (522) pay "a lot" of attention to politics. This survey was conducted using blended sample, mixed-mode," noted SurveyUSA.
