This, from Quinnipiac is days old, so it is not news. We already
knew this. The question is why they even bothered to spend time and
money on this poll.
| May
2, 2013 - Hillary Clinton Owns 2016 Dem Nomination, Quinnipiac
University National Poll Finds; Support For Immigration Reform Drops |
|
| Former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a huge lead over other potential
2016 candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, and if she
doesn't run Vice President Joseph Biden has almost as large a lead on
the rest of the field, according to a Quinnipiac University poll
released today. |
| Ms. Clinton would get 65 percent of
Democratic votes compared to 13 percent for Vice President Joe Biden, 4
percent for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and 1 percent or less for
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and
Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack)
University poll finds. If Clinton is not in the race, Biden would get 45
percent, with 15 percent for Gov. Cuomo, 6 percent for, Gov. Patrick, 3
percent O'Malley and 2 percent for Warner. |
"Former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a rock-solid hold on the hearts
of Democratic voters at this point," said Peter A. Brown, assistant
director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "If she decides
not to run, Vice President Joseph Biden does almost as well as she does
against the rest of the field. There is a long way to go until 2016,
but none of the other younger potential candidates for the Democratic
nomination currently has anything approaching widespread support from
party voters."
(If Democrat or Democratic Leaner) If the
Democratic primary for President were being held today, and the
candidates were: Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Andrew Cuomo, Deval
Patrick, Mark Warner and Martin O'Malley, for whom would you vote?
