Hillary polling wrap-up last 10 days of April 2015 US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
From 01 May 2015 to 15 May, 2015, national polling, Hillary Clinton (D) vs. GOP field, was released for public consumption. There was also polling for the same in three states:
NBC / WSJ: taken 26-30 April, 2015, released 04 May, 2015, 1,000 A, MoE = +/-3.1
Clinton 47 / Paul 44 , margin = Clinton +3
Clinton 49 / Bush, J. 43 , margin = Clinton + 6
Clinton 49 / Rubio 43 , margin = Clinton + 6
Clinton 50 / Walker 40, margin = Clinton +10
Fox News Poll: taken 09-12 May, 2015, released 15 May 2015, 1,006 RV, MoE = +/-3.0
(Numbers in parentheses are from the previous Fox News Poll ,released 23 April, 2015)
Bush, J 45 (41) / Clinton 44 (45) , margin = Bush, J +1 (Clinton +4)
Clinton 47 (47) / Huckabee 44 (42) , margin = Clinton +3 (+5)
Clinton 47 (46) / Rubio 43 (42) , margin = Clinton + 4 (unchanged, +4)
Clinton 48 (47) / Cruz 43 (42) , margin = Clinton + 5 (unchanged, +5)
Clinton 48 (46) / Walker 42 (40), margin = Clinton +6 (unchanged, +6)
Clinton 48 / Carson 42, margin = Clinton +6
Clinton 48 / Kasich 40, margin = Clinton +8
Clinton 49 / Fiorina 37, margin = Clinton +12
Dem nomination: Clinton 63 / Warren 13 / Sanders 6 / Biden 6 / Cuomo 2 / Webb 2, margin = Clinton +50
Republican nomination: Bush 13 / Carson 13 / Walker 11 / Huckabee 10 / Rubio 9 / Paul 7 / Christie 6 / Cruz 6 / Trump 4 / Kasich 2 / Perry 2 / Santorum 2 / Fiorina 1 / Jindal 1, margin = Bush/Carson absolute tie, statistical 4-way tie.
PPP (D) also did a national poll but has not yet released the matchups. However the respective nomination numbers are out:
Dem nomination: Clinton 63 / Sanders 13 / Chafee 6 / Webb 6, margin = Clinton +50
Republican nomination: Walker 18 / Rubio 13 / Carson 11 / Huckabee 11 / Cruz 10 / Paul 9 / Christie 5 / Perry 2, margin = Walker +5
First, unbelievably, this is the very first NBC/WSJ only poll of the 74 national polls taken to-date. NBC has paired with Marist-McClatchy a number of times, but not only with WSJ, so there is no real way to compare the national poll to former data.
The Fox News Poll polled 8 matchups this time around and amazingly, it apparently did not poll Hillary against Rand Paul. It polled other numbers for Paul, but not a match-up. Either that, or it forgot to publish the data. But of the four matchups we can compare (vs. Bush, Huckabee, Rubio and Walker), two results are completely unchanged and the Huckabee margin has narrowed by 2 points. However, the Clinton/Bush, J matchup has moved from Clinton +4 to Bush +1, a 5 point shift toward Jeb Bush. In the poll before the previous poll (released 2 April, 2015), it was a mathematical tie, so over 6 weeks, in reality, very little has changed.
It's interesting to note that the DEM nomination numbers for poll pollsters show identical toplines for Clinton and an identical margin of +50 for her, which is pretty much the result we have been seeing in every single state poll that also does DEM nomination matchups.
On the Republican side, the results are very different, but the numbers are so low, it's either a 4-way tie or Walker is a nose ahead of the rest of the crowd for now. The obvious loser in all of this is Chris Christie, who is between 5-6% among Republicans.
PPP (D), released 06 May, 2015, 600 RV, MoE = +/-4.0
(values in parentheses are from the previous PPP poll of Arizona, from April 2014)
Christie 46 (41) / Clinton 39 (44), margin = Christie +7 (Clinton +3)
Paul 45 (43) / Clinton 40 (46), margin = Paul +5 (Clinton +3)
Huckabee 44 (41) / Clinton 41 (47), margin = Huckabee +3 (Clinton +6)
Rubio 43 / Clinton 41 , margin = Rubio +2
Cruz 44 / Clinton 43 , margin = Cruz +1
Walker 44 / Clinton 43 , margin = Walker+1
Carson 42 / Clinton 42, margin = absolute mathematical tie
Bush, J 41 (45) / Clinton 41 (44), margin = absolute mathematical tie (Bush +1)
Clinton 44 / Perry 41, margin = Clinton +3
The margins in this polling are wildly disparate, from Christie +7 to Clinton +3, a 10 point swing.
I also have to say that comparing two polls that are more than one year apart from each other can only be cosmetic. That being said, for Christie, Paul and Huckabee, the movement has been toward them, which is pretty understandable for a state that tends to default Republican and has gone Republican for 15 of the last 16 cycles. Much more information about this here:
2016 Prez polling in Arizona 2015 compared to 2014 US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
SUSA, released 12 April, 2015, 2,104 RV, MoE = +/-2.2
Clinton 45 / Paul 45, margin = absolute mathematical tie
This is the only SUSA poll taken of the Bluegrass state thus far, it is now the 7th. In the four PPP (D) polls taken of KY in 2015, Paul was ahead of Clinton by between +4 and +6 in a state that Mitt Romney won by +22.68%, the strongest Kentucky landslide for a Republican since Nixon in 1972. Kentucky is a state that Bill Clinton just barely won in both 1992 and 1996 (+3.21, +0.96, respectively), so we may be seeing the influence of the Clinton name in this state, a southern border state that was once even considered a bellwether state and one of the "Clinton 6" states (6 southern states that Bill Clinton won twice, that Obama never won even once).
I am not saying that Hillary Clinton is destined to win Kentucky, especially considering it's electoral development over the last 4 cycles:
2000: Bush 43 +15.13
2004: Bush 43 +19.86
2008: McCain +16.22
2012: Romney +22.86
What I am saying is that the margins in Kentucky should not even be close at all, and yet, over 7 polls of the Bluegrass State and 16 matchups, Clinton has won 8 matchups, the GOP has won 6 and there have been two absolute ties, one of which is this poll from SUSA. And all of the margins have been from middle-single digit margins down to a tie, a good 16 points or more under Romney's 2012 margin.I would very much like to see both a PPP (D) and a Gravis (R) poll with about 10 matchups a piece for this state in the next month. That would go on my wishlist.
If these kind of numbers hold, after Hillary is nominated, a bet that BILL Clinton will be visiting Kentucky a great deal, for that really could put this state in play for the first time in 20 years.
In the last two weeks, we have seen three polls of New Hampshire, and I expect we will be seeing a lot more with time to come. Here is a lot of data to ingest.
Dartmouth "2015 State of the State Poll", produced by the Nelson Rockefeller Center, taken from 27 April to 30 April, 2015, released 06 May 2015, 355 RV, MoE = +/-5.2!
(Values in parentheses are from the previous Dartmouth Poll, from May 2014)
Clinton 39.8 / Cruz 28.7 , margin = Clinton +10.1
Clinton 38.1 (38.3) / Huckabee 31.1 (36.2), margin = Clinton +7.0 (+2.1)
Clinton 36.1 (36.8) / Paul 33.3 (38.4), margin = Clinton +2.8 (Paul +2.6)
Clinton 34.5 / Rubio 34.4 , margin = Clinton +0.1, in reality a mathematical tie
Bush, J 36.9 (32.2) / Clinton 34.1 (42.2) , margin = Bush +2.8 (Clinton +9.9)
Walker 38.7 / Clinton 34.8 , margin = Walker +3.9
So, in the Dartmouth poll, from 6 matchups, we have 3 Clinton wins, one absolute tie and two GOP wins, with margins ranging from Clinton +10.9 to Walker +3.9, essentially a 15 point swing. The candidate who has gained the most since the poll from one year ago is Jeb Bush. Both Paul and Huckebee have lost ground. What is not really believable about this poll is that no single candidate gets to 40%. We are talking about undecideds between 30-34%, which, by candidates with extremely high name recognition, is practically impossible. And a margin of error of +/-5.2 in modern polling is practically unforgivable.
WMUR/UNH, taken from 24 April to 03 May 2015, released on 08 May, 2015, 627 LV, MoE = +/-3.9.
(Values in parentheses are from the previous WMUR/UNH poll from Feb 2014)
Bush 47 (39) / Clinton 41 (51), margin = Bush +6 (Clinton +12)
Rubio 47 / Clinton 42, margin = Rubio +5
Paul 47 (40) / Clinton 43 (50), margin = Paul +4 (Clinton +10)
Walker 44 / Clinton 44, margin = absolute mathematical tie
Clinton 46 / Cruz 45, margin = Clinton +1
This WMUR poll has five matchups, two of which we compare to the past. The GOP wins 3 matchups, there is an absolute tie and Clinton wins 1 matchup, but it is a statistical tie and we we margins ranging from Bush +6 to Clinton +1, far less of a swing than with the Dartmouth poll. According to WMUR, favor has shifted heavily to both Bush (Jeb) and Paul. And the toplines, in the mid-to-upper fourties, is much more in line for polling about 1.5 years away from a general election. A strike against this poll is that it was taken over 10 days, a very large time-window, to say the least.
In contrast, Bloomberg / St. Anselm / Purple Insights also put out a NH poll, taken between 02 May and 06 May, released on 11 May, 2015, 500 LV, MoE = +/-4.4
(Parentheses indicate values from the previous Bloomberg-Purple poll, from November 2014)
Clinton 46 / Walker 40 , margin = Clinton +6
Clinton 46 (48) / Paul 43 (41), margin = Clinton +3 (+7)
Clinton 44 (47) / Bush, J 42 (39), margin = Clinton +2 (+8)
Clinton 44 / Rubio 42 , margin = Clinton +2
GOP nomination: Walker 12 / Paul 12 / Bush 11 / Rubio 11 / Trump 8 / Christie 7 / Cruz 6 / Carson 5 / Huckabee 4 / Fiorina 3: margin = 4 way tie.
Dem nomination: Clinton 62 / Sanders 18 / Biden 5 / O'Malley 3 / Chafee 1, margin = Clinton +44
The Bloomberg-Purple poll shows Clinton winning all four matchups, but with reduced margins in the case of two matchups that can be compared to the previous Purple poll. Here we have two very respected pollsters showing very disparate results. The one commonality is that the margins are pretty close in all three polls. I think that the Bloomberg has a nose ahead because of it's more restrictive voter screen (LV instead of RV) and it's smaller polling time frame, which is also more recent.
These three polls plus the two from the end of April (Gravis, PPP) all paint a picture of a state that is now becoming competitive. I am moving NH from safe Clinton to battleground status, based on the data.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All said and told, 37 individual matchups, Clinton vs. GOP field, from 7 polls, taken by 7 different pollsters, nationally, in three states.
To date, the grand totals are:
318 polls, 1,274 matchups to date.
Of those 318, Hillary has won 97% of all national polling, 74% of state polling and almost 80% of both rubriks combined.
At the beginning of June: 2016 GE: Hillary Clinton vs. GOP Field, Part VII (complete analysis of all polling).

Clinton 39.8 / Cruz 28.7 , margin = Clinton +10.1
Clinton 38.1 (38.3) / Huckabee 31.1 (36.2), margin = Clinton +7.0 (+2.1)
Clinton 36.1 (36.8) / Paul 33.3 (38.4), margin = Clinton +2.8 (Paul +2.6)
Clinton 34.5 / Rubio 34.4 , margin = Clinton +0.1, in reality a mathematical tie
Bush, J 36.9 (32.2) / Clinton 34.1 (42.2) , margin = Bush +2.8 (Clinton +9.9)
