NC: PPP: Clinton only leading Bush, Kasich

[pbrower2a]

Last time, Hillary Clinton was losing them all.

Jeb was the presumptive nominee, Kasich was supposed to be nominee & now Rubio. Rubio has missed half his votes in Senate & had a 45 percent approval rating when he decided to retire.

Trump is a billionaire and has lead on TV ads. Carson, Trump or Rubio can win, but Trump has cash money to spend, not donations.

Can you please provide a link for this "Rubio has a 45% approval rating" statistic you constantly cite?

I forget which pollster had last shown Marco Rubio with a 45% approval rating as a Senator. That would likely have been adequate for getting re-elected, assuming that he were even an average campaigner as an incumbent.  (Most elected pols have approval ratings about 6% below what they were elected with; they can't please everyone with their votes or their governing. Thus they must campaign for re-election).

I had thought that Rubio could win re-election if he wanted it.  But he apparently doesn't.

So much for them being the most electable.

I'd still wager they are.  Polls this far out aren't all that important.  What do you want to bet that both would beat Hillary in North Carolina?

This time in 1987, Mike Dukakis looked extremely electable. His weaknesses as a politician were largely unknown.

Hillary Clinton is consistent. She does not make contradictory promises. She has survived the confrontation with the Congressional Republicans that were loaded for bear. The only questions are whether there will be an economic meltdown or an international disaster that people can attach to President Obama in specific and Democrats in general.

The leading Republican prospects have no experience in elected public office and little as political campaigners.
