PDF format



Additional Trend Information



Vice President Joseph Biden, the Democrat, and Dr. Ben Carson, the Republican, trail in their respective party races for the presidential nomination, but run strongest in general election matchups with other top contenders, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.





Carly Fiorina out-performed Donald Trump in last week's presidential debate, Republican voters say 4-1, but she still trails Trump and Carson in the race for the nomination, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.





Trump leads the Republican primary pack with 25 percent, followed by 17 percent for Carson, 12 percent for Fiorina, 10 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and 9 percent for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. No other candidate tops 7 percent, with 9 percent undecided.





But 29 percent of GOP voters say they "would definitely not support" Trump.





Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gets 43 percent of Democrats, with 25 percent for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, 18 percent for Biden and 10 percent undecided.





Only 11 percent of Democrats say they "would definitely not support" Clinton.





"The cast of characters changes by the week, with Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina in the spotlight and Gov. Jeb Bush still waiting for his big break. And Donald Trump still in the lead role," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.





"But when the number of Republicans who 'would definitely not support you' is greater than the number who support you, where does that leave you? Welcome to Trump World, comparing his fragile support from his own party to Hillary Clinton's sagging but still stronger support from her party."





In head-to-head matchups, Clinton gets 43 percent to 44 percent for Fiorina. Clinton trails Carson 49 - 42 percent. She gets 42 percent to 44 percent for Bush and gets 45 percent to Trump's 43 percent.





Biden gets 46 percent to 43 percent for Fiorina and beats Bush 46 - 41 percent and Trump 51 - 40 percent. Biden and Carson are tied 45 - 45 percent.





Sanders gets 43 percent to Fiorina's 44 percent and ties Bush 44 - 44 percent. Sanders trails Carson 49 - 39 percent and tops Trump 47 - 42 percent.





Carson has the highest net favorability rating of leading contenders, 48 - 16 percent, with Biden at 50 - 34 percent. Favorability ratings for other candidates are:

Negative 41 - 55 percent for Clinton;

Negative 37 - 44 percent for Bush;

Negative 36 - 57 percent for Trump;

Positive 35 - 28 percent for Sanders;

Positive 39 - 21 percent for Fiorina.

Fiorina did the best job in the September 16 presidential debate, according to 28 percent of all voters, including 39 percent of Republicans, with Trump ranked best by 11 percent of all voters, including 10 percent of Republicans. Trump did worst, 20 percent of all voters, including 22 percent of Republicans, say.





Clinton and Trump have the worst ratings on being honest and trustworthy:

Voters say 63 - 32 percent, including 68 - 26 percent among independent voters, that Clinton is not honest and trustworthy.

Trump is not honest and trustworthy, voters say 57 - 35 percent, including 56 - 36 percent among independent voters.

Carson and Biden have the best honesty scores, 63 - 12 percent for Carson and 62 - 27 percent for Biden.
