Clinton behind 2 GOP rivals in key state of Iowa
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is behind her GOP rival, Ben Carson, in a head-to-head match-up in the key early voting state of Iowa, according to a new poll.
Conducted by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling, the poll showed Tuesday that the former secretary of state is three percent behind Carson who leads with 47 percent.
It is not only the Republican front-runner; Clinton is also left behind Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who put up a great performance in the latest GOP debate.
In recent polls, Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, has been leading real estate mogul Donald Trump among others in the Republican party.
“This continues the trend of Carson being the most electable candidate for the Republicans at this point pretty much everywhere we poll. He is the only candidate on either side of the aisle with a positive overall favorability rating in the state- 45% of voters see him positively to 32% with a negative opinion,” the survey said.
“Clinton and Donald Trump tie in Iowa at 44%. We also tested a three way race between Clinton and Trump, adding Jim Webb into the mix as an independent. That actually gives Clinton a one point lead over Trump at 41/40, with Webb getting 9%. We've now found in both Iowa and North Carolina that Webb takes more from Trump than he does from Clinton when he's included in the mix,” it added.
With fewer than 90 days left to Iowa caucuses, Clinton is slightly ahead of other GOP candidates, including former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Senator Ted Cruz and former Florida governor Jeb Bush.
