A stunning new poll shows trouble brewing for Hillary Clinton in key swing states, with the Democratic presidential front-runner trailing potential Republican rivals in every match-up tested.

The Quinnipiac University poll put Clinton head-to-head against Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in three states: Colorado, Iowa and Virginia.

In every hypothetical contest, the former secretary of state was either clearly trailing or, as Quinnipiac phrased it, "on the wrong side of a too-close-to-call" race. A majority of voters in all three states also said they found Clinton not honest and trustworthy.

The gap between Clinton and GOP candidates was most pronounced in Colorado and Iowa. She trailed Rubio by 8 points in Colorado, 38-46 percent; and Walker by 9 points, 38-47 percent. She trailed Bush by 6 points in Iowa, 36-42 percent; and Rubio by 8 points, 36-44 percent.

The survey raises troubling questions for the campaign, which has struggled to shed the image of a candidate who is closed off to the media and the public, despite her decisive lead over the Democratic field. The latest results reflect a drop from a similar poll in April.

"She has lost ground in the horserace," Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.

Would like the same poll for Florida, New Mexico, Ohio, New Hampshire.

She appears maxed out at 38% which is clearly not a good sign. Poll internals, sample size would be useful.

I would like to see how Rubio does with Hispanics, in New Mexico and Colorado, versus the other two.

Rights now, the polls are showing that it sucks to be her. She will be giving her testimony on Benghazi in October and my hunch is that she will self-destruct. She will try to come up with her usual side-stepping and song and dance ... but this time it just isn't going to work.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Her response in front of the Benghazi Panel, will be that while an ongoing investigation isn' completed, she can't answer any related questions.

And eventually, Obama's Justice Department will announce "There's nothing there!"

Yes, she'll do that, but not miss the opportunity for getting out her campaign themes, and throwing grenades at the Republicans.  The GOP has little to gain; Hillary much.
It's the Supreme Court nominations!
