*Hillary Group!* Hillary Clinton Dominates 2016 Democratic Field, Leads GOP Rivals

Hillary Clinton is leading her nearest Democratic competitor by a whopping 60 points, and she holds the early general-election advantage against the top Republican White House contenders, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Seventy-five percent of national Democratic primary voters favor Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination - compared with 15 percent who pick Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., four percent who choose former Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., and two percent who select former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.

What's more, 92 percent of Democratic voters say they could see themselves supporting Clinton for the Democratic nomination, which is up six points since March.

This can't be accurate.

I keep reading right here on DU that she can't possibly win, she's losing supporters daily, "the people" don't like her, etc.

Her speeches are in depth and noteworthy. They are policy filled, rather than simply campaign speeches. She has been so impressive.

I do agree that as it gets closer to the election, as always, the numbers change.

It's quite clear our girl will triumph in the primaries, though I hesitate to say that as the gut wrenching train wreck of 2008 and the rise of Obama still plays over and over in my mind..

Anyway, my real question is will DU start supporting her after she wins (when we can finally move out of our little HRC room and into the forum as a whole) or will they continue to tear her down and abstain from voting because they're upset over not gettinf their way with Bernie?
