The latest Quinnipiac national poll is BAAAAAAAD news for the mean old drunk lady..... In general election matchups, Carson beat Clinton 50 percent to 40 percent, outdrawing the former secretary of state in the share of both men (55 percent to 35 percent) and of women (45 percent to 44 percent). Clinton also came up on the short end of hypothetical head-to-heads against Rubio (41 percent to 46 percent), Cruz (43 percent to 46 percent) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (43 percent to 46 percent), who drew less than Bush among Republican voters. Quinnipiac did not test a Bush-Clinton matchup. Matched up against Trump, however, Clinton held a lead of 46 percent to 43 percent. Overall, Carson earned the highest net favorability ratings of any candidate tested, at 49 percent favorable to 25 percent unfavorable (+24 positive), while Trump tied for the third lowest with another New Yorker, former Gov. George Pataki, at negative 19 points. Rubio had the second highest, at a net favorable of 14 points, followed by Fiorina at 10 points. Other candidates earned net positive numbers in the low single digits, negative single digits or in negative double digits, as in the case of Clinton (-10), Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (-11), former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (-13), former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (-16), former Virginia Sen. Jim Gilmore (-18) and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (-25).

Why lie? (2) 5 Power Line by Scott Johnson Speaking to a partisan Democratic crowd at a fundraiser in New York on Monday, President Obama mocked the Republican presidential candidates. Disparaging his domestic political opponents is what Obama does best. Not to say he’s great at it, or that he doesn’t have significant accomplishments to point to, but disparagement is his greatest strength. The GOP candidates seem to have gotten under his thin skin. “Every one of these candidates says, ‘Obama is weak, Putin is kicking sand in his face, when I talk to Putin it is going to straighten him out.'” (CNN has more here.) Obama founded his criticism on the candidates’ purported inability to deal with the CNBC moderators as he asserted: “And then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators on a debate. If you can’t handle those guys, you know, then, I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you.” Now if you saw the CNBC event, you saw that the candidates had no trouble dealing with the CNBC moderators. Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio et al. actually put them in their place. It was the most newsworthy element of the event by far. As always when he emits his venom, Obama depends on the ignorance of his intended audience. Moreover, Obama can’t handle Putin. He can’t handle any formidable adversary of the United States. he doesn’t even much defend himself before a friendly audience. He loves to trash his domestic political opponents. Obama never tires of reminding us that he is a very small man occupying a very large office. NOTE: I think David Harsanyi dishes out the criticism the GOP candidates deserve.
