AP poll: After her "command performance" debate, voters say Hillary Clinton most electable. (HILLARY GROUP)

Democrats appear to be rallying around Hillary Rodham Clinton after her command performance in the party’s first presidential debate, with strong majorities viewing her favorably and more saying she can win the White House than any of her rivals, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows.

The survey released Tuesday finds that Clinton has regained traction in the 2016 primary contest following a summer slump, with nearly 8 in 10 Democrats saying they have a positive opinion of her. That’s a slight uptick for Clinton, eight points better than the last time the question was asked in an AP-GfK poll in July....

It’s not just Democrats who view Clinton as a possible winner. Three quarters of Americans think Clinton could win in a general election, including two-thirds of Republicans....

Meanwhile, less than half of Americans said they think any of the Republican candidates for president could win in a general election....

People recognize that in her. She has so much experience being First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State. Her resume out shines every other candidate running.

I can't wait until tomorrow is over. I hope she doesn't let them get to her.

Imagine any other candidate, from either side, standing up to something like this.

who is a serious candidate for the office.

All of the republicans are dangerous demagogues that want to destroy the country and hand the wreckage over to the koch bros.

They must be stopped at all costs and Hillary is the only one running that they are afraid of.

We need to unite behind her now, bigtime, and make damn sure she gets elected with a massive GOTV ground game.
