Poll: Hillary Clinton runs away with White House

Hillary Clinton clears the field as the Democratic candidate of choice in a new 2016 presidential poll.

The former Secretary of State crushes other potential Democratic contenders, garnering 65 percent of her party’s support, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.


Vice President Joe Biden is a way distant second with 13 percent, followed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo with 4 percent, while Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick; Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and Virginia Sen. Mark Warner each registered at 1 percent or less.

“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a rock-solid hold on the hearts of Democratic voters at this point,” said Quinnipiac Polling Institute assistant director Peter A. Brown. “There is a long way to go until 2016, but none of the other younger potential candidates for the Democratic nomination currently has anything approaching widespread support from party voters.”
