Hillary at 62 percent in new primary poll and easily beats the gop.-Hillary Clinton Room Post.

Hillary Clinton Room Post

These paragraphs are the last 4 in the article


BY DAVID LIGHTMAN


Among Democrats, former Secretary of State Clinton remained far ahead of potential challengers. No one came close to her 62 percent support. Vice President Joe Biden had 11 percent.

Warren, who says she isn’t running, would get 9 percent today. Even among those who said they were very liberal, she won 11 percent to Clinton’s 62 percent. Warren did best among independents, with 15 percent to Clinton’s 56 percent.

Clinton may be well-positioned to take advantage of that mood, Miringoff said. She left the Obama administration nearly two years ago, has been somewhat critical of his foreign policy “and she can say she ran against the guy in 2008,” he said.

Clinton easily defeated every potential Republican challenger in general election matchups. She rolled up margins of 13 percentage points over Bush, 12 over Christie and Romney and 14 over Paul. Notable: At a time when Democrats have had trouble wooing white voters, Clinton runs roughly even with the Republicans.

to carry her through a primary. This is one of the things Bill was really good at doing when he was running, looking at the mistakes and correct the downfalls. In the end of the primaries she started running very strong, I think it will be stronger run and am looking forward to this.

I also am looking forward to working for her campaign, it will be my pleasure.
