The CBS poll is very interesting. It sorts the results by party. And from that you can see how much voters of each party want each candidate to run. The not so shocking result is everyone hates Palin:

"I’m going to read you a list of names. For each please tell me if you would like to see them run for president of the United States in 2016 or not or whether you don’t know enough about that person to say:"

Palin
Republicans
Yes 30 - No 59

Independents
Yes 15 - No 69

Here are the candidates that a plurality wants to see run:

Democrats

Yes 27 - No 49

But from all of these candidates of both parties, the only candidate encouraged to run by both Dems and Independents is Hillary.

Hillary
Democrats
Yes 85 - No 11

Indies
Yes 51 - No 37

Hillary is also the only candidate that Independents want to see run.

For republicans, I love the fact that not even republicans want Cruz, Christie, Palin, Rand Paul, Perry, and Santorum to run.

God forbid we run our strongest candidate. That would be crazy! Metric System Jan 2015 #14

Hopefully we will have a stronger candidate than Hillary in 2016 Martin Eden Jan 2015 #22

Just like 2006. How'd that turn out again? (nt) jeff47 Jan 2015 #16

I think there's a major discrepancy here ... Martin Eden Jan 2015 #18

Most Americans are clueless. She leads because of name recognition. n/t Dawgs Jan 2015 #20

Yep. Martin Eden Jan 2015 #24

Which is why Jeb leads... um, but he doesn't. wyldwolf Jan 2015 #31

Not sure what you're getting at, but half of America probably doesn't know Jeb is W's brother. n/t Dawgs Jan 2015 #38

I'm fairly certain half the country knows the name 'Bush.' wyldwolf Jan 2015 #39

I didn't say that, and knowing the name Bush does not mean they know Jeb. Dawgs Jan 2015 #41

So Clinton leads because of name recognition, but Bush doesn't? wyldwolf Jan 2015 #43

They don't know Jeb Bush. They know George Bush. Dawgs Jan 2015 #46

so your point is Hillary is leading because she is well known. Last name has nothing to do with it. wyldwolf Jan 2015 #47

The polls back that up JonLP24 Jan 2015 #49
