Washington (CNN) -- Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren -- not Hillary Clinton -- is the top progressive choice for president in 2016, according to a new poll.
In fact, Clinton doesn't even make second place. Forty two percent of respondents favor Warren, and Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders also edges out Clinton with 24% compared to her 23%, according to results from the 2016 Presidential Pulse Poll commissioned by progressive grassroots organization Democracy for America.
These results come amid a groundswell of activism from the Democratic party's more liberal wing, which has called for a contested 2016 primary and has often questioned Clinton's financial ties to Wall Street.

I’m with you. There’s a reason Jarrett is lining up behind her.
As awful as Obama is, he had to run under the pretense of being a pro-free market Christian.
With Warren and Sanders (her likely running mate), the mask comes off completely. In my estimation, that makes them orders of magnitude more dangerous than Obama circa 2008. especially with the precedent for the abuse of office he’s leaving behind.
Warren’s supporters give me visions of Kristallnacht.
2016 GO FAUX!!!
She'll be destroyed as a persona, maybe even her very life.
Apparently, being an unabashed liar is a necessary qualification for higher office nowadays.
She doesn’t need the black avalanche. She has LaRAZA and every soccer mom and woman in the country.
Being from The Gay State will help her in the primaries and hurt her in November.The general public has an undeniable,and plainly obvious,contempt for all things Massachusetts.
What’s with that freaky eyebrow?
I’m guessing they will package her as a down home Oklahoma gal.
Just like they packaged a guy from Kenya by way of Indonesia as a lovable Hawaiian.
Well that’s 1/64th of a feather in her cap!
They couldn't handle El Presidente, a relative rookie at the time.
You think fauxcahontas ought to stay away from Ft. Marcy Park?
I think it’s pretty much agreed on FR that the Chicago Mob has a trump card vis a vis the Clinton Crime Family.
Probably info on Arkancides. Of course Fauxcahontas will have to gain their backing (if she doesn’t have it already).
Mid-terms attract a more informed voter. They’re also more localized, making those elections harder to steal. 2010 vs. 2012 vs. 2014 is one example of that dynamic.
Presidential elections are an entirely different animal, unfortunately. The wall-to-wall coverage and celebrity activism attracts hordes of highly motivated lofo’s. And with all of the urban and campus fraud factories in play, states like Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Colorado are getting more difficult with each cycle. Pennsylvania and Virginia are already gone. We’re running out of battleground states we can actually win.
I don’t mean to sound defeatist. I’m just saying, don’t take Warren lightly. She’s going to play the history card, just like O did... and the media is going to collude with her campaign to put her in the best possible light (they’ve already started... she’s being portrayed as the Phoenix rising from the ashes of the Dems historic defeat).
She’s a very dangerous woman. It’s going to take a special kind of wicked to follow in O’s footsteps... and she’s absolutely a special kind of wicked. I truly believe she’s going to be their nominee.
With Warren, they will not let that happen. No racial aspect, no "beating up on a girl" aspect either. They'll go for the throat if they need to.
I am so ready for Warren!
Your theory only works if the Chicago Mob truly doesn’t have a mutually assured destruction agreement with the Clintons.
(That’s assuming Lizzie is the Mob backed candidate)
This was so predictable it’s nauseating.
