"...6 Republican candidates hit double digits when it comes to who voters within their party want to be their nominee. Scott Walker leads with 18% to 15% for Marco Rubio, 13% for Mike Huckabee, 11% for Ted Cruz, and 10% each for Jeb Bush and Ben Carson. Chris Christie (6%), Rand Paul (5%), and Rick Perry (3%) round out the field.

Walker has the slight overall edge on the Republican field due to his strength with voters who identify themselves as 'very conservative.' He gets 28% to 18% for Cruz, 16% for Huckabee, and 10% for Rubio. Rubio's greatest strength is with those who label themselves as 'somewhat conservative'- he gets 23% to 13% for Bush, 2% for Walker, and 10% for Carson.

On the Democratic side Hillary Clinton continues to be dominant at 57% to 24% for Bernie Sanders, 4% for Martin O'Malley, 2% for Jim Webb, and 1% for Lincoln Chafee. This is another data point showing that Sanders has far separated himself from the rest of the Democratic field in the race for 2nd place he has 58% name recognition with the O'Malley/Webb/Chafee trio only coming in the 26-31% range.

"PPP's newest Washington poll finds that Hillary Clinton leads the entire Republican field in the state- by margins sm aller than what Barack Obama won by in 2008 and 2012, but larger than what Al Go re and John Kerry won by in 2000 and 2004."

Interesting since I didn't even think the State of Washington was in play. Also, the headline makes it sound like Clinton is running for the Republican nomination.

Has the low information voter even heard of any candidate running except Clinton?

Has the low information voter even heard of any candidate running except Clinton?

And 75-80% of them think Bill will be running things.

Look how well they shielded the imposter we have now

Please spare us all, won’t someone please run over Hitlary with a Scooby van or something?

With her HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE history, why should she even be considered as a candidate? Both she and Billy Bob should have been in jail years ago. Charge and prosecute her now before she commits even worse crimes should she be elected POTUS. Doesn’t someone have the gonads to do it?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Maybe the Left knows there’s no way they’re going to win the WH in 2016, so have figured out that they might as well let Queen Hillary be cannon fodder.

Commie freeloader country. So what else is new? Washington is full of the kind of people de Toqueville warned us about.

HRC means everything to the American people even if they don’t know why.

[Theodore R.]

If she were to ever come up against Cruz or Walker, she’d melt like butta.

Not at all; the media will always say HRC won "on points", a term they use for leftists. The American people will be satisfied that she did "win on points" because like the media, they want her to win.

[Theodore R.]

Washington is full of the kind of people de Toqueville warned us about.No, the USA is full of such leftists from ME to CA, from WA to south FL.

That poll is from California, which is not in the Republican calculus for winning the nomination. What’s impressive is that even in CA Walker leads.
