Republicans who fear a Trump nomination say Trump is vulnerable in a one-on-one contest.
|
|
But in a one-on-one contest against Trump, Cruz hits 48 percent to Trump's 85033 percent.

But in a one-on-one contest against a single moderate opponent such as former Ohio Gov.
|
|
It will be the fifth face-off between the two, but their first one-on-one contest, after former Gov.
|
|
The poll also suggested that if the race were to narrow to a one-on-one contest, Mr. Trump could be in trouble.
|
|
Yet in the first 269 states he won, several of the other major candidates might well have beaten him in a one-on-one contest.
|
|
Speaking of being able to beat Trump, most polls have shown that Joe Biden has consistently been the most competitive in a hypothetical one-on-one contest against Trump.
|
|
The night could not have gone much worse for Marco Rubio, perhaps the only Republican with a good chance to beat Mr. Trump in a one-on-one contest.
|
|
His viability in a one-on-one contest against a Democrat is an entirely different question, particularly in a state that Trump lost to Hillary Clinton by five points.
|
|
If he's able to land a decisive victory, it could propel Biden ahead of a jumbled pack of moderates vying to get into a one-on-one contest with Sanders.
|
|
For all the things Trump and Cruz disagree about, each will be able to agree that his best shot at the nomination is a one-on-one contest with the other.
|
|
Biden, 77, the former vice president, accomplished his Super Tuesday goal of muscling Bloomberg aside and consolidating support of moderates to turn the race into a one-on-one contest against Sanders.
|
|
Texas is crucial to Biden's effort to make the Democratic primary a one-on-one contest against frontrunner Bernie Sanders, who's expected to win the biggest state of all on Super Tuesday, California.
|
|
Rubio's campaign is hinging on the anti-Trump vote, supposing that once the race is down to a one-on-one contest, the establishment candidate will have enough support to knock down the frontrunner.
|
|
A recent Economist/YouGov poll found that Donald Trump would win in a three-way race with Messrs Rubio and Cruz, 43-35-22, and would tie Mr Rubio in a one-on-one contest.
|
|
Even with his former opponents' energetic help, Mr. Biden is by no means certain to run strong enough on Tuesday to slow Mr. Sanders's ascent or narrow the race to a one-on-one contest.

Warren's departure from a field that was once more than 20 candidates leaves U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former Vice President Joe Biden in what now appears to be a one-on-one contest.
|
|
To try to hold him off, Cruz and Kasich entered into an alliance in Indiana, with Kasich agreeing to pull his resources from the state to allow for a one-on-one contest between Trump and Cruz.
|
|
But if he's in danger of finishing behind a mainstream candidate like Mr. Rubio in a Southern state while the establishment is still divided, then it's hard to see how he'll get to a one-on-one contest.
|
|
Mr. Obama won just 59 percent in the 2012 primary in a one-on-one contest against Keith Judd, who was in prison at the time and who will be on the West Virginia ballot again on Tuesday.
|
|
White voters might divide closely in a one-on-one contest between Biden and either Warren or Sanders: Biden would likely capture most moderate and older ones, and either senator would likely lead among younger and more liberal whites.
|
|
Bloomberg's withdrawal from a field that was once more than 20 candidates allows Biden to further consolidate support of moderates in what is increasingly a one-on-one contest between him and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist.
|
|
This strategy, which effectively starved his 16 Republican rivals of oxygen, does not work as well in a one-on-one contest: Mrs Clinton has caught up with Mr Trump in the earned-media race since wrapping up the Democratic nomination in June.

They'll have to wade even deeper in the race if Strange is to win a one-on-one contest against the controversial, twice-ousted former state Supreme Court chief justice Roy Moore, who got 39% of the vote to Strange's 33% in Tuesday's primary, pushing the two into a September 26 runoff.

If in fact, voters, donors and the media consider three or more candidates fully viable heading into the huge delegate trove on Super Tuesday on March 3 -- when states from Virginia to Texas to California will vote -- the race will unfold very differently than if it has become effectively a one-on-one contest at that point, as in the past.

The event also featured Tommy Dreamer and Raven retaining the ECW World Tag Team Championship against Rhino and Steve Corino and two three-way dance matches; the first saw Yoshihiro Tajiri defeat Super Crazy and Little Guido and the second featured Mike Awesome defeating champion Taz and Masato Tanaka to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship in a match originally scheduled to be a one-on-one contest between Taz and Tanaka for the title.

The first was a one-on-one contest at New Year's Revolution won by Masters. In a rematch the next night on Raw, Carlito came out victorious. On the January 15 episode of Raw, Ron Simmons, with interference from Super Crazy, almost "won" the Master Lock Challenge. An attempted Master Lock Challenge for The Great Khali on the February 26 episode of Raw did not occur when Masters was unable to apply the hold to Khali.

During the 2002 election, Stovall briefly campaigned for the Republican nomination for the office of Governor of Kansas. Kent Glasscock, a former Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives, served as her running mate. In 2001, Kansas Republican party moderates had united behind Stovall, for the gubernatorial race, in hopes of defeating the conservative wing of the party in a one-on-one contest with its standard-bearer, State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger. However, the late entry of former Wichita mayor Bob Knight complicated matters.

Babe Ruth in 1920, the year he joined the New York Yankees Although baseball is a team sport, individual players are often placed under scrutiny and pressure. In 1915, a baseball instructional manual pointed out that every single pitch, of which there are often more than two hundred in a game, involves an individual, one-on-one contest: "the pitcher and the batter in a battle of wits".Clarke and Dawson (1915), p. 48. Pitcher, batter, and fielder all act essentially independent of each other.

He lost the championship to Misawa on January 20, 1997, in a very highly regarded match. In March 1997 in the Champion Carnival he gained his first pinfall victory over Misawa. At the end of the Carnival, Kobashi qualified for the finals for the first time. However, instead of the traditional one on one contest to settle the carnival, a one night 3 way round robin was held due to Kobashi, Kawada, and Misawa all having finished the Carnival round robin with the same score.

Throughout much of the 1990s Glen Jakovich was regarded as the premier centre half back in the AFL, and his battles with Carey were a talking point and a season highlight whenever the Eagles and Kangaroos met. Jakovich was one of the very few players who could match Carey for strength in a one- on-one contest and as a result he was often able to limit Carey's dominance. The rivalry gained significant media attention during 1995 when the pair met three times, with Carey being held to a combined total of just 7 marks, 35 disposals and 2 goals. Carey had dominated their encounters in 1993 and 1994, polling Brownlow votes in two out of three games.

In poker, an isolation play is usually a raise designed to encourage one or more players to fold, specifically for the purpose of making the hand a one- on-one contest with a specific opponent. For example, if an opponent raises and a player suspects he is holding a weak, but playable hand, they may reraise to pressure other opponents to fold, with the aim of getting heads up with the opening raiser. Isolation plays are most common against overly- aggressive players ("maniacs") who frequently play inferior hands, or with players who may have a drawing hand. Isolation plays are also common in tournaments to isolate a player who is "short stacked", that is, one who is in imminent danger of elimination, and so is likely to be playing aggressively out of desperation.
