Poll: Clinton Hurting in FL, OH, and PA

Elizabeth Price Foley, guest posting at Instapundit, summarizes the results of  a Quinnipiac poll of voters in FL, OH, and PA.

In Florida: Bush, Rubio and Trump all lead Clinton now:  Rubio +12; Bush +11; and Trump +2.

In Ohio: Clinton is still holding on to a slim lead over Bush and Trump (+2 and +5, respectively), but now trailing Rubio (who is +2 over her).

In Pennsylvania: Bush and Rubio lead Clinton (+3 and +7, respectively), but Trump trails her by 5 points.

The same poll showed that among likely GOP voters in the Republican presidential primary, the present frontrunner is Trump in Florida (at 21%, which is +4 over the next closest candidate, Ben Carson); Kasich in Pennsylvania (at 27%, which is +6 over the next closest candidate, Donald Trump); and Trump in Pennsylvania (at 24%, which is +11 over the next closest candidate, Ben Carson).

While these findings may appear contradictory, they are not. The match-ups with Clinton are asked of all voters. The ranking of GOP candidates represents the views of Republicans as only they vote in GOP primaries.
