Although voters reportedly have mixed opinions toward former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, she is still the preferred presidential candidate against any Republican Party hopeful.

Quinnipiac University's latest national poll found American voters finding Clinton as dishonest and untrustworthy, with 53 percent, while 39 percent did view her as honest and trustworthy. Despite the majority viewing her as dishonest, most voters agreed Clinton has strong leadership skills, with 60 percent, while 37 percent disagreed. The view of Clinton having strong leadership skills was echoed with both men and women, with 55 percent and 66 percent, respectively.

Among Republican voters, Sen. Marco Rubio's, R-Fla., support slipped. In April's Quinnipiac poll, Rubio received 15 percent of the GOP support for first place. In May's poll, five Republicans are tied for first place. Rubio tied with 10 percent with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, neurologist Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and current Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

"Safe to say, the 2016 Republican presidential primary is anyone's race. With no front- runner and identical numbers for the top five contenders, it's a horserace which can only be described as a scrambled field - at least so far," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

While 11 other Republican options were provided in the poll, all received single-digit figures less than 7 percent. Donald Trump received 5 percent, which edged him ahead of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's 4 percent, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Republican and Republican-leaning voters, however, definitely do not want to support list. In Quinnipiac's question on who "you would definitely not support for the Republican nomination for president," Trump topped the list with 21 percent, but Bush was not far behind with 17 percent, ahead of Christie's 15 percent.

On the Democratic field, Clinton is the dominant preferred choice. Clinton received 57 percent of the support from Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, although it is a decline from April's 60 percent. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., saw his polling numbers increase from 8 percent to 15 percent. Vice President Joe Biden received 9 percent.

In hypothetical matchups, Clinton defeated encountered a narrow race against Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., with 46 percent to 42 percent. Rubio also put a challenge as he received 41 percent to Clinton's 45 percent.

Clinton, however, saw gains against other GOP candidates. She received 47 percent to Bush's 37 percent as she attracted 48 percent to Sen. Ted Cruz's, R-Texas, 37 percent.

"Can you get low marks on honesty and still be a strong leader? Sure you can," Malloy said. "Hillary Clinton crushes her democratic rivals and keeps the GOP hoard at arm's length."

The Quinnipiac poll was conducted between May 19 and May 26 with 1,711 registered voters participating.
