Several thoughts:
A lot of polling during primary season is whack. It is likely that Johnson pulls more from Trump and Stein pulls more from Clinton and that early polls which show something different are suspect.
Sanders hasn't directly attacked Clinton (very much), but has made huge indirect attacks (money in politics, corporatism,...). Additionally, Sanders followers are "berning" up facebook with endless attacks. Couple that with ~two decades of attacks, and she is at a nadir of popularity.
Johnson can't win anything, and he probably can't even be a spoiler. The Libertarian and Green parties represent various political wonks who are largely incapable of gaining any grassroots traction.
Clinton it is. We have survived Obama, we can survive her (and a majority actually approve of Obama's job). What Trump represents is horrible. The GOP would do best to abandon this cycle, and figure out what it actually stands for as it moves forward.
They know what they stand for.

"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden
