Poll: Clinton would crush Trump in general election
Hillary Clinton would crush Donald Trump in a hypothetical general election match-up, a new national survey found.
According to a Bloomberg Politics poll released Wednesday, Clinton leads Trump 54 percent to 36 percent in a contest between the two front-runners.
Also troubling for Trump, only 29 percent of likely general election voters nationally have a favorable view of him, compared to 68 percent who view him negatively.
Trump s favorability rating is at an all-time low in the survey, while his negative rating has gone up 13 points since November and has hit a new high.
Clinton is similarly under-water on favorability, with 44 percent saying they have positive view of her and 53 percent saying they view her negatively.
The Republican Party s favorability rating is at an all-time low in the survey, which has been conducted since 2009.
Only 33 percent view the GOP favorably, against 60 percent who have a negative view of the party. Fifty-one percent of likely general election voters have a positive view of the Democratic Party, against 43 percent negative.
Trump does worse in a head-to-head match-up against Clinton than either of his two rivals still in the GOP race.

Make sure you still go out and vote. Remember what happened to Bart Simpson.
