WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) If the presidential election were held today, it wouldnt even be close.
Hillary Clinton is crushing her potential Republican rivals by double digits in a new CNN/ORC International poll. The Republicans best showing is by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who trails the former senator and secretary of state by 14 points. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who hasnt declared his candidacy yet, lags Clinton by 17 points. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are each 19 points behind Clinton.
Rubio and Paul have declared their candidacies, but Christie hasnt said hell run.
Clinton is also the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic nomination, with nearly seven in 10 Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents supporting her.
Even including the polls margin of error, Clinton would still have a double-digit lead on Rubio and the others. The poll was taken April 16-19 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. It was released Monday.
"We do better when we work together. Women & men, all of us across every line that is used to divide us. - Hillary.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't poll people on who they might vote for. It helps the wrong people.

It's a poll by a well-respected polling company using a typical sample size and methods.

The poll excludes people without phones and who don't participate in phone polls.

It measures a sample limited to people who engage in phone polls. That's a problem.

Does that mean he is literally the candidate of the 1% or he has nowhere to go but up?

It is interesting that he decided to become a Democrat after his 22% approval ratings...
