A new Quinnipiac University poll found that Hillary Clinton would trounce any of the top three Republican 2016 contenders, but Vice President Joe Biden would lose to Christie, struggle against Ryan, and defeat Rubio.
If the election were held today, former Sec. of State Clinton would have an easy time against either Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, or Paul Ryan. Clinton would defeat Sen. Marco Rubio 50%-34%. She would also win by double digits over Rep. Paul Ryan 50%-38. The Republican that would give her the most trouble is the one that the conservative base likes the least. Clinton would defeat Gov. Chris Christie 45%-37%.
Vice President Biden doesn’t fare nearly as well against the top three Republicans. Biden tops Rubio 45%-38%. The vice president would be in a close race with Ryan 45%-42%, and he would lose to Christie 43%-40%. The difference between Clinton and Biden is most clearly seen with Independent voters. Clinton ties Christie with Independents (36%-36%). Biden loses to Christie 44%-32%. Clinton leads Ryan by six points with Independents, 44%-38%. Ryan leads Biden with Independents, 45%-36%. Clinton leads Rubio, 44%-32% with Independents. Rubio leads Biden, 39%-36%.

And where was the poll taken at moveon.org?
Pure name recognition at this stage. Any poll this far out has little value. The names that always surface at the top are those who have run before, or are nationally known (like Rudy in 2008).
Its March 2013. What difference does it make?
Politically, she is done. Health reasons if nothing else.
And at her age, four years is an eternity in which the body quickly fails you. And hers has demonstrated it is not one of those that’s gonna go on 80 or 90 years.
True this is just name recognition at this point; however, I would say this is bad news for Hillary. She should be much higher at this point especially against an unknown as Rubio.
Any DemocRAT in a Santa suit trashes ANY REPUBLICAN these days. We’ve become a Free Stuff nation. More and more people now living in this country are reaching out to the gubmint for free stuff. It sure beats working for a living.
Did Paul Ryan manage to carve a place for himself on the national stage as presidential material, I didn’t see that.
The biggest problem with reelecting a (vicious) lame duck President is that the jockeying for President begins immediately.

The old bag will need an extra large chair at the debates to leave room for the duff and the “Depends”.
Nope, the low-information voters (aka the majority) think she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. There will probably never be another Republican, much less conservative in the White House in my lifetime.

She has to go thru a primary...unlike Obama in 2012.....she won’t look nearly as good by then. Dems are basically stuck with a white woman and a white man if the field stays as is. Not that big a deal to the blacks and Latinos as it was with the present occupant!!
Sure...and three years out from 2008 all polls showed her unbeatable then as well.
If this IS true, the country it G O N E.
The Bitch of Benghazi really belongs in JAIL — NOT the oval office.
we will make our own decisions and I don't believe Americans will forgive Hillary for all the harm she has cause....”so what does it matter?”
bring it on Hillary, we have not begun yet!!!!
