Rubio tops Clinton in new general election poll — "Well, the problem is: If [Marco Rubio's] doing well in a general election match-up against Hillary Clinton, it's because they share a lot of the same positions," Fox's Andrea Tarantos said during a taping of "Outnumbered." (AP Photos)

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has the edge over most of the top GOP candidates in hypothetical general election match-ups — all except Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Clinton edges Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in a new Public Policy Polling survey, 46 percent to 43 percent. The former secretary of state also bests Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (45 percent to 43 percent) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (44 percent to 39 percent).
