Donald Trump has said he thinks he’ll face Vice President Biden, not Hillary Clinton, in the general election (suffice it to say, he’s also pretty sure he’ll capture the GOP nomination).
According to a new Quinnipiac Swing State Poll, that might not work out so well for him.
The poll finds Biden — who is still mulling whether to challenge Clinton for the Democratic nomination — leading Trump in Florida (45% to 42%), Ohio (48% to 38%) and Pennsylvania (48% to 40%).
Clinton, the current Democratic front-runner, trails Trump in Florida (43% to 41%), but leads by smaller margins in the other two states. More on USAToday.
You didn’t mention that Trump does so badly in the poll that he even trails Bernie Sanders in a general election matchup! It shows that inflammatory and hateful rhetoric is unpalatable to the general electorate- even more so than socialism!
