Former Florida governor Jeb Bush now leads the field of Republican candidates for the partys 2016 presidential nomination, but former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton enjoys a decided advantage over Bush and other potential GOP rivals in hypothetical general election matchups, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
At this early stage in the 2016 competition, the prospective candidates suffer from image weaknesses, but the Republicans have a more acute problem. Most Republicans are not well known, but at this point, not a single one of six Republicans included in the survey has a favorability rating that is net positive.
Bush by far the best known among those running for the GOP nomination is viewed favorably by just 33 percent of the public, while 53 percent say they view him unfavorably. Only Clinton among all those included in the poll has a net positive rating, but by the slender margin of three percentage points (49-46 percent). Her favorability rating has dropped nine points in the past year and 18 points since she left the State Department in 2013.
Clinton stands now as the leading contender in either party for the White House, with no serious opposition at this point in the race for the Democratic nomination

LOL ,good one
For many months now, pollsters say HRC has it in the bag. The
American people won’t have it any other way.
My arss!!!
Jebbie is also leading in Red Hampshire, isn’t he?
The polls at this point are being used by The Ministry Of Propaganda to shape opinion, not reflect it.
The Cheap Labor Express wants an amnesty candidate and the RNC has already been paid to deliver one.
They would like another amnesty vs amnesty election. It’s our job to nominate Ted Cruz against the combined Ministry Of Propaganda, the DNC and the RNC.
Until the GOP candidates actually all announce that they are running these polls are totally bogus. So far the only announced candidate is Ted Cruz.
The whole story is BS.
So it's obvious Bush should be the GOP standard-bearer, isn't it?
You are right. Polls mean little if done by the leftists in the media. They are just another way to manipulate.
Well, at least Ted Cruz is in the double digits in this poll too (13%). I don’t know how he polled in earlier versions of this poll, but in most of the others he was in the single digits. And that was BEFORE he announced.
As Cruz gets out there and speaks to the American people, I believe most will like him and his message and you’ll see a surge for him in the polls.
It depends on who is being polled and how the questions are being framed. I suspect that WAPOABC polls a bunch of slackers. If that’s so, you won’t see a rise for Ted Cruz because the participants are brain dead.
We (thinkers) are outnumbered. Stick a fork in this country. It’s over.
People need to read the article and poll, not good for Clinton and Bush.
*************
True. But look at the various polls and Clinton leads in the democrat group easily.
Good source for all polling data:

Bush 21, cheap labor importer
Walker 13, says he’s not?
Cruz 12, stands for the rule of law
Paul 8, cheap labor importer
Rubio 8, cheap labor importer
Huckabee 8, cheap labor importer
Christie 7, cheap labor importer
Carson 6, surgeon, not presidential
Santorum 2, give it Rick
Jindal 1, You too Bobby
Kasich 1, cheap labor importer
Perry 1, cheap labor importer
If we eliminate the cheap labor importers and the non-entities, there’s only one clear choice
CRUZ TO VICTORY
I think once the debates start, Hillary folds like a cheap pantsuit. Except to Jeb, there will be no differentiation.
Jebbie is also leading in Red Hampshire, isnt he?
**********
One poll has him leading and another has him and Walker tied. Way too early
to put much faith in polling other than name recognition at this time.
The American voter has become despicable(along with a good dose of illegal alien voters. People look upon the influx as “immigration,” it is a CONQUEST.”
What's sad is from looking at a list of potential Democratic nominees, I think if the country were forced to suffer another Democratic administration, I'd rather it be Hillary Clinton at the helm than any of the rest.
At least in her cold, black heart she's something of a Rockefeller Republican --as opposed to a full-blown communist.
That's true....
I’ll vote for anybody to avoid Clinton. After the current clown her election would administer the coup de gras to our country.
HRC controls her base the way Juan Peron did in Argentina. They are all hemispheric true believers.
