CBS Poll: Hillary Clinton Has Huge Support, Christie Has Most Skeptics

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/03/29/cbs-presidential-poll-hillary-clinton-has-huge-support-christie-has-most-skeptics/

Hillary Rodham Clinton still holds a commanding lead over the potential Democratic field in the 2016 presidential race and Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has plenty of skeptics to overcome if he decides to run, a new CBS Poll finds.

When asked which GOP candidates they would consider voting for, Republicans gave former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush the edge, with 51 percent saying they might support him. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (42 percent), Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (39 percent), Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (39 percent) and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (37 percent) rounded out the top five.

On the Democratic side, the Clinton email saga appears to have done little to damage her reputation among voters.

For the second month in a row, a whopping 81 percent of Democrats said they would consider voting for the former secretary of state and New York senator for the party’s nomination.

1. Proof that Hillary is well like in the party and the hatred of her on DU is no representative

of the party.

[MANative]

2. Yup.

We have a lot of self-described "purists" here who never forgive and never forget. She's not perfect - who is? - but I still think she's the our best choice and best chance to keep the White House in '16.

[hrmjustin]

4. Hopefully it gets better here as people realize she will be our nominee.

[MANative]

6. In 2008, there were quite a few who...

weren't all that thrilled about PBO winning the nomination over Hillary, and I think most finally did get behind him. I think it's likely to be pretty much the same scenario this time.

[hrmjustin]

7. Was easy for me.

I love both of them and when she lost last time I very easily supported Obama.

[MANative]

10. Me, too.

I supported Hillary until the nomination was decided, then enthusiastically got behind PBO's candidacy. I'll never forget my overjoyed and overwhelmed tears on election night. Hope to repeat that experience with Hillary.

15. November 2008 was a great night.

I was so bitter about 2000 and 2004 that 2008 was a hallelujah moment.

[MANative]

22. It was one of the highlights, if not THE highlight, of all my years of...

political awareness and activity.

[hrmjustin]

25. Agreed! Although 2006 was also a great night.

[leftofcool]

3. Yes!

[Thinkingabout]

5. Oh, no, more heads are going to explode, it can't be after the GOP has started

The non scandal email crap, it was supposed to turn everyone away.

The GOP doesn't have anyone who would stick their toe in the water, I think the GOP primary will be a clown show none before.

I want a good primary of substance, one to put DNC issues for all to see and let the people decide.

[MANative]

8. Most Dems are smart enough to recognize...

a non-scandal when they see it, I think. Fewer of us live in a bubble than those on the right.

If last cycle was any indication, "clown car" will be a description far too kind. The nuts are even nuttier this round.

Agreed - I want a good discussion about issues.

[Thinkingabout]

12. I watched Cruz make a fool of himself this morning and Dana Bash explained

Running for president was much different than going to a town hall meeting in Texas.

[MANative]

16. I've never heard him say anything intelligent in an unscripted situation...

or in a venue where he wasn't surrounded by sycophants.

[Thinkingabout]

17. Maybe they need to give him a George W box to wear.

[MANative]

20. I know, right?! I still can't believe that he got away with that. SMH. nt

[EileenFB]

9. Anyone else notice that when a poll comes out

showing Hillary in the lead, the main page is filled with more negative posts about her?

[MANative]

11. If only people could get that organized for positive efforts. n/t

[Thinkingabout]

14. Maybe we could start the positive effort on this forum.

[MANative]

19. I believe that's the intention!

[hrmjustin]

13. Sundays are the worse here.

I was at chur h this morning and when I returned I just trashed those threads. Not in the mood.

Several of our friends are on forced vacations and they can say whatever they want about Hillary and her supporters.

But if we open our mouths we get compared to the Stasi.

Yeah we litterally got compared to the Staei yesterday.

[MANative]

18. It seems that some learn lessons from the wrong teachers.

Wish we had an eye-rolling smiley!

[hrmjustin]

21. you can use this smiley for eye rolling.

[MANative]

23. I missed that little guy. That works!

[hrmjustin]

26. I rarely use it but it works.

[MANative]

28. It would seriously come in handy for some of the emails I exchange.

Too bad it's not a universal one.

[hrmjustin]

29. lmfao!

[William769]

24. Thank's for posting.

[MANative]

27. You're welcome!
