More good news for Hillary Clinton, not such good for the Republicans.
Fairleigh Dickinson University's new PublicMind poll of the 2016 presidential race released Tuesday contains good news for Hillary Clinton.
FDU found Clinton well ahead of all her hypothetical Republican rivals among registered national voters.
All of the likely GOP candidates in the poll; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Congressman and 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush performed similarly.
Krista Jenkins, the director of PublicMind and an FDU political science professor noted the "strong position" Clinton seems to be in.
"Christie, Paul, Ryan, Bush and Huckabee are not one and the same, and yet they all seem to do about the same among registered voters when paired against Hillary Clinton. No one’s record is impenetrable, but these findings point to the strong position Clinton would find herself in should she officially become a nominee for the Democratic primary," Jenkins said in a statement accompanying the poll.
This kind of information can do nothing but further panic the GOP.
After all can even they continue to hold onto the House through potentially eight more years of a Democratic presidency? I seriously doubt it, and instead believe that the Democrats will rally and start picking off Congressional seats right and left.
If these numbers hold that would mean that even if the Republicans hold onto the House, or gain more seats in 2014, that they may not be able to do much more than temporarily hold back the tide of change before the Democrats get their legs under them and start to really push back on their obstructionism.
