GROUPS Clintons popularity in a comparatively uncluttered Democratic field reflects her better performance relative to Bush and Trump among her partisan and ideological base, as well as some key demographic groups. Shes viewed positively by 82 percent of Democrats, for example, while 63 and 57 percent of Republicans like Bush and Trump, respectively.
Further, while Clintons seen favorably by 76 percent of liberals, there are greater ideological divisions on the GOP side. Bush is seen favorably by just 43 percent of strong conservatives (vs. 52 percent of somewhat conservatives). That flips for Trump 55 percent favorability among strong conservatives vs. 40 percent among somewhat conservatives.
Clinton essentially breaks even among independents, while Bush and Trump are under water by 13 and 23 points, respectively, in this group. Bush is much closer to Clinton among moderates, while Trumps popularity is well behind.
Clinton also gets at least as good a favorability rating as Bush or Trump among men, whites and seniors more GOP- than Democratic-leaning groups as well as scoring much better among women, nonwhites and young adults. Notably, two-thirds of Hispanics view Clinton positively, compared with 46 percent for Bush and, for Trump, 13 percent.

That's great, esp. the part about young adults. Supposedly they were running away from her.
