Poll: Elizabeth Warren is the ‘hottest’ (Warren on fire!)

And we're just getting started!

Poll: Elizabeth Warren is the ‘hottest’

If the 2016 presidential race were a game of “hot or not,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren would be winning with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton close behind, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie would be losing ground, according to a new poll.

When Americans were asked to give prominent politicians a score, 0 to 100, of how “warm,” or favorable, they feel toward that name, the Massachusetts Democratic senator was the highest-rated of the bunch, with a “temperature” of 48.6, according to a Quinnipiac poll out Thursday.

Clinton was in second place, at 47.8, Republican Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan followed at 47.4, Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was at 47.1 and Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker rounded out the top five with 46.6.

The Republican governor of New Jersey was in ninth place, at 45.2, a more than 10-point drop from the 55.5 he registered to lead the poll in January, before news of the George Washington Bridge scandal rocked his office.

And almost half of voters don't know who she is - yet. Wait until they do!

is warm or fuzzy.
These men are cold, calculating, criminals and they won three of the top five temperatures in the poll.
Nice to know that Warren is gaining stature in democratic circles but in an informed state no republican would have made the top five cut.
