HILLARY CLINTON BECOMES REPUBLICAN FRONT-RUNNER, POLL
Utah People's Post ^ | 06/23/2015 | Jack Ford

Posted on 06/23/2015 9:30:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

According to a recent poll, Hillary Clinton seems to be the favorite candidate for the 2016 presidential elections. She has already gained serious ground, leading over all the Democratic candidates and the three potential Republican adversaries.

The poll, conducted by the Wall Street Journal/NBC News, took place days after Hillary’s first rally, and it showed the unexpected favor and widespread support she has found among the key voting groups; women under 50 years-old and Latinos have already expressed solid support toward Mrs. Clinton.

Among the Democratic primary voters, three out of 4 respondents said Hillary was preferred, whereas Bernie Sanders only received support from 15 percent. The poll revealed that a sheer majority of respondents – 92 percent among the Democratic voters – could see themselves supporting Clinton’s presidential candidature.

More than 1,000 Americans were asked about their political preferences in the 2016 presidential elections in a phone survey across the country that took place from 14 to 18 of June, 2015.

Jeb Bush, who is currently holding the place of front-runner for the Republicans, has only gained 22 percent of the respondents’ support, and he is closely seconded by Scott Walker, with 17 percent, and Marco Rubio with 14 percent.

If Clinton and Bush would race against each other, theoretical polls would have Clinton in the lead with 48 percent, while Bush would gain only 40 percent. Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster, and Fred Yang, Democrat, were the ones to conduct the poll; McInturff believes Clinton has great advantages that keep her in the lead.

Apparently people either : 1) Don’t know what happened or; 2) Don’t care.

Defeating Hillary is an uphill (no pun) battle.

The demo that she owns is the swing demo, younger women and Latinos.

How she loses is, well, unimaginable. Scandals don’t matter to this demo. I doubt there is a violent act in her past that would cause defection.

It’s all about the feeling of security. She can pull this off as she is perceived to be a women’s President.

The Republicans would have better luck peeling off the other Democratic supporters: black, liberals, and various non tax payers.

You’re correct of course. People simply do not understand that we have already joined Rome on the fallen list in national elections. Clinton can be beat but only by depressing turnout among her special groups.

She murdered four Americans in Benghazi.
She set up more than four Americans; it was the valor of some who disregarded orders and “rode to the sound of the guns” who kept the death toll as low as four.

wow talk about manipulation.

1. nbc uses the DemocraTIC vs Democrat. so much for proper English.

2. the pessimist vs optimist are propagandized as representing 50/50 of the vote.

Here’s where the inroads must be made for 2016:
Obama got 93% of the Black vote in 2012. He got 73% of the Asian vote, 71% of the Latino vote, and 70% of the Jewish vote
Together, those groups were 30% of the total electorate.

The headline is silly. If the stats quoted are believed, it should say she got a greater share than the GOP front runner.

But we should also note, the GOP has more plausible candidates than the Democrats do.

D 45 R 35 I 14
What kind of sample is this? D+10?????


NBC poll April D 42 R 37 I 14. D +5. So D over R up 5 in the last two months??
Why does WSJ continue to associate with fraud like this? NBC, I understand. Brian Williams is coming back.


Look at the head to head...
vs Jebby. +6 in April, +8 in June. Only up 2 when the party sample is up 5? So actually bush gained 3 on her. The 2012 sample with His Holiness the Emperor had a turnout of D+6 If the D+5 were to be 'correct'. So it should say Hillary +3 over Jeb. Parties do not change that dramatically unless the Clinton acolytes at the polling firm. Are effing with the numbers.

Rubio +10 in June and +6 in April. That loss of 4 is actually a gain of 1. Rubio down 5.

Walker Down 10 in april, down 14 now. So that is a net gain of 1. So walker is 9 behind.

Since the polls are registered voters, and the GOP usually outperforms when it comes to likely voters the margin narrowws by 4. SO in reality Bush +1, Rubio -1, and Walker -5.

WSJ needs to divorce themselves from such foolishness as this polling firm.
