Hillary Beats Out Jeb Bush and Rubio in Q-Poll of Florida

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the favorite to be the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, beats out two possible Republican presidential candidates in their own back yards according to a poll released Wednesday morning.

A poll from Quinnipiac University shows Clinton with a solid lead over former Gov. Jeb Bush and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio in Florida. Clinton beats out Bush 50 percent to 43 percent. She does even better against Rubio, besting him 53 percent to 41 percent.

The Republicans do better when matched against Vice President Joe Biden. Bush beats out the vice president 47 percent to 43 percent while Rubio edges Biden 45 percent to 43 percent.

"Vice President Joseph Biden runs weaker than does former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton against a number of Republicans in a number of states Quinnipiac tested," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

The poll of 1,176 registered voters was taken from June 11 through June 16 and had a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percent.
