While a majority of Democrats say that Vice President Joe Biden should run for President, in a potential primary matchup Clinton is supported by 45 percent of Democrats, compared to 24 percent for Biden and 23 percent for Senator Bernie Sanders.
Donald Trump leads the Republican primary field with 34 percent support, followed by Ben Carson (14 percent) and Jeb Bush (11 percent) and everyone else in single digits. Although Trump is viewed favorably by 60 percent of Republicans – the highest of any of the candidates – he is viewed unfavorably by 65 percent of all New York voters, also the highest of any candidate.
New Yorkers view Pope Francis favorably 73-11 percent, with Catholics viewing the Pope favorably 83-6 percent.

(23,156 posts)what would I think if she'd come to my state, instead of New York, to run. I didn't think I'd be very crazy about her, but since I lived in a state that was very much off her radar (Kansas), I sort of shrugged and didn't think too much about her candidacy. And she was elected.
But now she's running for President. She's asking all of us to vote for her. WTF? Has she no clue what her negatives are? Does she live inside a deep, dark cave that she doesn't understand that she should tell us, should have been telling us for a very long time, what she thinks about things like the TPP, the Keystone Pipeline? Or that having a personal server for her emails rather than using the state department one when she was Secretary of State wasn't really a very good idea? Or that she should make clear what she actually thinks about things rather than waiting until the tea leaves are telling her what to say? Or that she doesn't simply deserve to be elected because of her gender?
Does she really think none of these things matter?
