In what would be a first-ever race pitting former secretaries of state, only Condoleezza Rice would beat Hillary Rodham Clinton in Iowa, according to a new poll that could put fire under a languishing "Draft Condi" movement.
A new Townhall/Gravis Marketing poll found that Rice would beat Clinton in the state as every other Republican loses to the first Democrat to officially announce her candidacy.
Condoleezza Rice and her successor at State, Hillary Clinton. In the poll, Rice would beat Clinton 43 percent to 40 percent, taking evangelical Protestants, Catholics and voters under 50 years old.
"What this tells me is the electorate wants a superstar like a Rice, someone with ideas and foreign policy credentials," said Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Insights, the Florida-based political consulting firm that conducted the poll.
Rice is an educator and expert at Stanford University and is a founding member of the international consulting firm RiceHadleyGates.
Among Republicans expected to fight it out in next year's Iowa Caucus, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush continues to lead, at 16 percent. Close behind is Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 12 percent.
But Kaplan noted that as more Republicans enter the field, Walker takes a hit. "We see Jeb Bush hold strong with Walker very close, whenever someone announces, they seem to take a few votes from Walker," he said.

Why?
No thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Condi wants to be president of the NFL anyway. I dont think she is interested unless it is a veep slot...
She doesn’t want to do it or anything else.
I have a friend who works with her and that is the word.
Never going to happen and Rice would never win. Rice was not that stellar as SoS. And she has no experience being elected to anything.

not buyng it
Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic candidate, not in 2016 and not ever.
She will never run for office. As much as I like Condi I’ve wondered if there isn’t something in Her past that she doesn’t want vetted. She’s entitled to her privacy.
If only you or I could be so lucky, eh?
Don’t see her having an ounce of interest.
Nope she is an Obama voter
Name recognition at this point....that’s all pure and simple.
Right!!!!! Let’s all vote for a pro-choice rhino.
jesus isn’t a candidate
Condi has “ideas”?
Sure.
1) Do nothing about abortion.
2) Do nothing about the Fed and fiat money.
3) Tinker with tax rates.
4) Tinker with amnesty.
5) Appoint another couple of pro-abortion Republicans to the Supreme Court.
6) Appoint Colin Powell to something.
7) Be black.
Just saying.
Condi was in this poll, but Sarah Palin wasn’t.
OK.
Not, uh, interested in, uh, Condi, uh, uh, Rice, uh.
