Clinton Clobbers Potential GOP Foes
« on: January 22, 2015, 06:13:33 pm »
Any doubts that the GOP needs to back a true conservative?

Poll: Clinton clobbers potential GOP foes

Washington (CNN)

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton isn't just the prospective Democratic frontrunner -- she's favored over every top potential Republican candidate, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll released Thursday.

Clinton beats out five potential Republican candidates in head-to-head matchups by double-digits, according to the survey of 843 registered votes, conducted after reports emerged that Mitt Romney was phoning donors, supporters and former staffers and considering a third presidential run.

Mitt Romney may be rushing the field and fraying former Gov. Jeb Bush's prospects of locking up the establishment money, but the former GOP presidential nominee loses to Clinton by a wider margin than Bush in the poll's hypothetical matchups. Romney falls 15 points behind Clinton while Bush also loses, but by 13 percentage points.

Though Clinton gets a net positive out of her husband's tenure as president, Bush and Romney's pasts undercut their ambitions...

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky's Sen. Rand Paul also trail Clinton by 13 points as the hypothetical Republican nominee.

Clinton fares even better against social conservative crusader and former Gov. Mike Huckabee, beating him out by 17 points.

A Clinton candidacy would also get a bump from her potential to become the first female president of the United States...

The survey was conducted Jan. 12-15 and had a 4 percentage point margin-of-error for registered voters.

The CNN barometer is probably a tad skewed; however, I do believe it is accurate to state that a moderate or populist conservative will lose again.

Especially since voting for the first black president worked out so well...

Of the roughly 240 million voters, these 843 people are the accurate predictors of a presidential election with no declared candidates two years out.
