Hillary Rodham Clinton holds double-digit leads over potential Republican challengers Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney as the likely Democratic presidential candidate moves closer to entering the race, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds.
Although Clinton, Bush and Romney are all longtime politicians and members of political dynasties, registered voters are less likely to count that familiarity against Clinton. That is a good sign for Clinton, a failed 2008 presidential candidate and the focus of Republican criticism that her time has come and gone.
Clinton’s potential to make history as the first female U.S. president makes little difference to most voters and is a net positive for others.

She also tops Rand Paul and Chris Christie by 13 percentage points each, and leads Mike Huckabee by 17 points.
No mention of Ted Cruz or Scott Walker.
Just wait until she starts boring people with her speeches
Let her go against Cruz. She’ll fall down again.
The public will be kept on a short media leash. We will hypnotically keep our eyes on the circus they present, but eventually be given the “choice” of either Hillary or JEB! which, of course, is no choice at all.
Good thing she “ain’t no ways taaard”
I’ll support Cruz against her.
But no one else from the damned GOP.
Wow, if she *REALLY* wants to win the POTUS, she be smart and take one or the other, Jeb/Myth, as a running mate. That way, she’ll be a sure bet against whomever is the GOP nominee!
Why is it that people act like she is somehow “owed” the Presidency?
And wanting to elect her just to make “history” (as first woman pres?)
Wasn’t the election of the Great Failure lesson enough about electing someone just because of who they are demographically?
A stale tunamelt has a double digit lead over Mitt, Jeb, Chris, etc..
Now if they put forth a real candidate?
That would change.
Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney. Now there’s a difference without a distinction.
Well, that's it then./sarc
Hardly worth having an election then, I guess!
If she were even a tenth of the retail politician that her husband is, I might get worried. But remember, even her husband never won a plurality in a race for the White House and she ain’t Bill.
” Good thing she “ain’t no ways taaard”
Just re-taaard
Now if they put forth a real candidate?

You’re not asking for someone with convictions, clear positions, political courage, and principles are you? ;)
Never going to find that person in the GOP.
Face it. The country is circling the toilet bowl right before the final flush.
Last election, I voted for Romney not because I liked him but it was Anybody But Obama.
The next election I cannot conceive of a bit of difference between Bush/Clinton/Romney. Throw in Christie, Gingrich, Huckleberry, Huntsman, Ryan, Rubio or Santorum, and it still wouldn’t make any difference. I will not vote for any of ‘em. If Hillary wins so be it.
We’re beyond salvation politically.
Not just boring but like listening to nails on a chalkboard.
I’d take Gingrich, Huckleberry, or Santorum.
