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.

RE: D 45 R 35 I 14

OK here’s the question -— Is the above a representative and reasonable sample of American voters and party affiliation?

If the answer is no, then the poll is biased.

Also, 45 + 35 + 14 = 94

Who are the other 6%?

Strong Democrat 20
Not very strong Democrat 12
Independent/lean Democrat 13 - Total D 45
Strictly Independent 14
Independent/lean Republican 13
Not very strong Republican 8
Strong Republican 14 - Total R 35
Here is the other 6
Other (vol) 4
Not sure 2

NBC/WSJ, purveyor of fine push polls. Do you believe the country went 5% more Dem in two months? If so why?

Among the Democratic primary voters, three out of 4 respondents said Hillary was preferred, whereas Bernie Sanders...

Ummm, Bernie Sanders thinks the gang rape of twelve year old girls is erotic...

Also correct.

The transition from Republic to Empire did not require the assassination of a military hero in our case.

Well geeze really how hard could that be to do. The ratings on those channels are terrible all time low.

Bad times coming.....

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

They don't know. Sadly if the did know, they wouldn't care.

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.

About the only issue the Republicans have is the decline in income of the middle class of ~ 8%, where the perceived solution is bolstering small business. I think Hilary as former Secretary of State neutralizes foreign policy issues.

How this narrative can strip significant Black-Asian-Latino-Jew voters, I don't know. Some yes, enough, probably not.

Add to the demographic factors, Obama beat Romney 55% to 45% with women voters who were 53% of the total electoral. Romney won among men 52% to 45%.
Clinton conceiveably could do better with women than Obama.
