Hillary Clinton Tops Rubio and Paul in Quinnipiac Iowa Poll

I was not going to bother posting this latest Quinnipiac poll.   Polling so far in advance is really meaningless.  At any rate, it is keeping Hillary in the news while she is not out there on the public stage, so I suppose it is worth reporting and putting on the record.

If the 2016 presidential election were today, Iowa voters back former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over Republican Senators Marco Rubio of Florida or Rand Paul of Kentucky, but Vice President Joseph Biden trails Rand and ties Rubio in the Hawkeye State, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
SNIP
In an early look at the 2016 White House race, Ms. Clinton would defeat Sen. Rubio of Florida 48 - 37 percent. In a race against Sen. Paul of Kentucky, she would have a very small 46 - 42 percent margin.

"The major difference between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joseph Biden is that she runs much better among independent voters, although Sen. Rand Paul runs better among that key group than either Democrat," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
