Public Puts Hillary Clinton Far Ahead of 2016 Contenders (Ron gets honorable mention...)

Reason/Rupe poll

If they got fewer than 1% they were thrown into the 'other' mix, I guess.

Republicans were most likely to say Marco Rubio (9 percent), Chris Christie (7 percent), and Hillary Clinton (6 percent) were their preferred 2016 presidential candidates. Independents mentioned Hillary Clinton (20 percent), Ron Paul (4 percent), and Marco Rubio (3 percent). Thirty-eight percent of Democrats mentioned Hillary Clinton, and 4 percent selected Joe Biden.

Tea partiers’ top pick was Marco Rubio at 11 percent, but then Hillary Clinton garnered 9 percent, and Chris Christie and Ron Paul both tied at 5 percent.

I'm guessing the 6% Republicans want to see Clinton as a candidate because she would be an easy opponent? If not, wow. Hillary 6% and Ron 1% among Republicans. We have more work to do.

Looking at the poll, it has other interesting tidbits:

The public is split, 47-47, on whether or not they “should have the right to destroy” a drone that is taking pictures or videos of their home.

Here's the methodology:

The Reason-Rupe poll conducted live interviews with 1,002 adults on mobile (502) and landline (500) phones from February 21-25, 2013. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 3.8 percent. Princeton Survey Research Associates International executed the nationwide survey.

Most asians will vote for Hillary. My asian parents, relatives and a lot of my asian friends will vote democrat (usually). I am sorry in advance guys. Sorry =(.

I've said it before- should Clinton run, she would almost be unbeatable. I say almost because no candidate is without flaw. However, her increased visibility as Secretary of State, the fact that she's married to a man who, despite his fallout, is still loved by many, many coming to her defense over Benghazi and saying that Republicans are basically beating a dead horse, and oh, the women love her. A lot of people love her. Do I think she should run? No idea. I mean, Romney ran twice, but this time, he was practically pushed to becoming the nominee.

The difference being that Clinton is already a powerhouse and serving as Secretary of State would only give her greater incentive should she choose to do so. Even if the Democratic candidates were stacked with popular potentials that would split the votes, I still think she'd manage to eek her way to the top.

They asked people to fill in the name themselves, they didn't give a list.

Makes sense and no wonder Slippery comes out on top. She's by and large the most recognized name on either side of the isle in America that would be on peoples' minds for president this far in advance. Meaningless imo

The Dems concentrating behind her is predictable, even if she doesn't win, she will always have the 'establishment coalition' as Romney had on the GOP side. But I liked that Rubio wasn't far ahead of Ron.

 

[talkingpointes]

Where's Rand, isn't he doing all this hardwork so he can at least be in polls?

 

[sailingaway]

He was mentioned in 'others' if you go into the link.

Americans who made the “Other” list include Paul Ryan, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Gov. Bobby Jindal, Ted Nugent, Trump, Dr. Benjamin Carson, Senator Rand Paul, Jon Huntsman, Stephen Colbert, Michelle Obama, and Mayor Cory Booker.

Or the illusion of people behind her. Remember the illusion of people behind Romney and the results.

Speaking of results, the only honest tally I heard during the Primaries was given by Matt Mcdonald.


Remember;

~Matt's results were;

8 for Ron Paul 36%

7 for Santorum 32%

5 Romney 23%

2 Undecided 9%

~The tally on the same ballots came back from the headquarters;

2 for Ron Paul 12%

5 for Santorum 31%

9 for Romney 56%

The final results of the Primary seemed equally rogered.

(Link to WIKI /Results_of_the_Republican_Party_presidential_primaries,_2012)

Ron Paul 10.89%

Santorum 20.43%

Romney 52.13%

Gingrich 14.21%
