Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton could struggle in the swing states of Colorado, Iowa, and Virginia, a new Quinnipiac University poll has found. Her potential Republican opponents former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) all lead Clinton in each of the crucial states.

Clinton trails Rubio by a margin of 38–46 in Colorado, by 36–44 in Iowa, and 41–43 in Virginia, the poll, which was released Wednesday, found. Bush tops Clinton by a margin of 41—36 in Colorado, by 42—36 in Iowa, and 42—39 in Virginia. Against Walker, Clinton trails by 38–47 in Colorado, 37–45 in Iowa, and 40–43 in Virginia. [Bloomberg]
