1. Rubio, Paul, Kasich, and Cruz are Hillary's toughest

opponents. Rubio has the youth argument, Paul has the Libertarian crowd and the vast majority of young people in NYC, LA. Kasich can make inroads in the South and Midwest. Clinton will win, but it will be a good and classic run. Hillary Clinton needs to pick Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate. He can bring Va. to the ticket.

3. I mostly agree with you but I believe Bush lll would make it a race.

I think Walker would be easy to beat. He's flat and does nothing to mitigate GOP losses among minorities.

[NYCButterfinger]

8. Walker is like Mitt Romney. Unexciting.

[Still In Wisconsin]

27. Walker is as bland as processed American cheese...

but we discount him at our own peril. He is a master at the politics of personal resentment.

[NYCButterfinger]

28. Exactly. I won't underestimate Scott Walker.

He runs on racial resentment. Period. That's how he won in 2010, 2012, and 2014. He can whip up anger in Ohio, Minnesota, Iowa.

[calimary]

20. Might be better, strategically, to bring one of the Castro brothers in as Hillary's running mate.

Assuming her ultimate opponent would be jeb bush, that would steal his "and I can speak Spanish, too!" thunder and blunt his appeal. AND allow her ticket to make even more political history - with a Latino Vice President.

[Cha]

35. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, calimary.. we'll see what happens!

[George II]

2. Great information....but a LOOOONG scroll to the bottom of the list!

[lunamagica]

4. Good numbers for Hillary

[Iliyah]

5. K & R

But but everyone hates her.

[sheshe2]

6. KnR

7. It should be noted that 33% of those polled were democrats vs

25% republicans.

14. I should add that Dr. Lee Miringoff is one of the officers of the National Council Of Public Polls

I should add that Dr. Lee Miringoff is one of the officers of the National Council Of Public Polls:

Dr. Lee Miringoff
Marist College Institute for Public Opinion



http://www.ncpp.org/?q=node/2

so he is qualified to conduct a poll.

15. Who was the guy in the post that was hidden? ...

What a B.S. hide!

I'd love to see the "explanations."

[1StrongBlackMan]

17. Oh ... that's the Big Boy of unskewed Polling (no pun intended) ...

I didn't know what he looked like ... apparently, neither did the jury.

I wonder how many executioners want their vote back?

[BainsBane]

19. Who? Oh, the one who runs/ran the unskewed polls site?

I'd like to see the results on that.

[Cha]

29. Wow, wth, was that hidden for? Know you can't answer.. sorry, DSB.

[Dawson Leery]

26. Q-polls are trash.

[okasha]

9. Just tragic. Seventeen villages are missing their idiots now.

I'm gratified but not surprised that Hillary is ahead of them all. But I just love how badly she takes down The Donald.

[freshwest]

30. I want to see here kicking GOP tail as she has in Congress. She won't let them sling cowpatties.

They are afraid of her. Really. She is absolutely their worst nightmare and they know it.

[okasha]

32. Truth.

Wonderful, isn't it?

[ericson00]

10. Quinnpiac polls is officially useless

as once again, they're outliers. God bless Hillary Clinton and her upcoming victory.

[Fred Sanders]

11. 40% of Americans, more or less, are complete idiots is all this poll proves.

[jimlup]

12. We won't really know much until the Republican field settles down a bit

Right now they are quite busy.

[turbinetree]

24. This beautiful..............................

just beautiful---got a big laugh, after I almost heaved up my dinner-------------I like the one that says drumstick and I then thought of Walker.............

[bravenak]

16. Good news!!!

They better watch their feet cause she just broke the glass ceiling. I am thinking we will have our first female president or first Jewish president. Democrats are making History. Constantly. This is our time to shine. No matter who wins our primary, we will win.


(I see they locked my boy outta this thread. So mean! It was a dumb hide, as usual)

[okasha]

33. Our first woman president

is also likely to bring our first Hispanic VP.

[bravenak]

34. I would love that!nt

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. It shouldn't be this close.

[TrollBuster9090]

22. It's nothing to worry about. The (sad) fact of the matter is that most of the electorate is divided

along party lines, and vote along party loyalties, so that you'd get a roughly 45%/45% split even if one of the two parties was running a TURNIP for President. (So, I take it as a comfort that the turnip would do marginally better than Fiorina, Carson, and Trump. )

[TrollBuster9090]

21. That's pretty good, considering that Hilary Clinton isn't even 'campaigning' yet, at least not in

the traditional sense. Nobody's talking about it very much, but the Clinton campaign appears to be setting up a strategy of low expectations for her. Let the Faux Fox News scandals be thrown at her over and over again, without her making any attempt to deny them (except through the occasional surrogate, like Carville), and watch her numbers go down. Then have her suddenly appear, and start talking just as the primaries start. Then, if she gets the nomination, use the same strategy for the election. Keep a low profile until about three weeks before the actual vote, come out swinging, and exceed everybody's low expectations. (Heck, it worked for GW Bush.)

As for the rest of the poll...I'm totally shocked that Marco "Little Ricky" Rubio is doing that well at the moment. I can only assume it's because nobody has yet taken a close look at what an empty suit he is.

Senator Marco Rubio (Center). (Not Exactly as Shown)

[Fearless]

23. She has to win a primary first.

[Adrahil]

25. I'm gonna guess....

That all those Bernie fans will NOT be posting this poll about 50 times.

This confirm the bad Quinnipiac sample I think. The sample in this one looks a LOT more like the expected electorate, and lo and behold, the other poll was a outlier.

[SunSeeker]

31. K & R

[Cha]

36. Mahalo DSB

[shenmue]

37. Go!

[DCBob]

38. Excellent!

That's about as good as one can expect given the circumstances. The RW media and all the GOP candidates and the LOLs (Left of Left) are all simultaneously bashing her.

[DCBob]

39. Sanders is not even mentioned in this entire poll.

Those in-the-know realize its pretty much a forgone conclusion who the Dem nominee is going to be. I guess they see it as a waste of effort to poll anyone besides Hillary on the Dem side.
