It is polls like this that supporters of Hillary Clinton hope will drag the popular former secretary of state into the 2016 presidential race.
In a Quinnipiac poll out Thursday, the ex-New York senator beats all comers in the 2016 presidential field in hypothetical match ups against several top rivals.
The poll tested Democrats Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo individually against Republicans -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who ran as Mitt RomneyÂ’s vice-presidential pick in 2012 against President Barack Obama.
Clinton was the only Democrat to beat all three Republicans, and Christie, who was not invited to next weekÂ’s conservative confab CPAC, showed the most strength for the GOP.
Poll: Hillary Clinton tops 2016 field - First Read
While this poll is interesting now, so much can happen between now and the 2016 election. It seemed when Hillary ran in 2008, she was the favorite to win. However, the left-winge big shots on Wall Street were not comfortable with Hillary because they were concerned she wouldn't be as good as an ally to them as they liked. So, then came the secret meeting with leftist fat cat Wall Street big shots Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld, Greg Fleming - CEO at Merrill Lynch, Larry Fink of BlackRock, former Fed. Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, Gary Cohn, a top Exec at Goldman Sachs and Warren Spector of Bear Stearns....and one other person was at this meeting at Johnny's Half Shell in Washington D.C........none other than Barack Obama. These big shots on Wall Street knew after the meeting they had their puppet in Barack Obama and they quickly shifted their funding from Hillary to Barack and vehemently encouraged other Wall Street big shots to throw their money behind Obama.
So, keep in mind, while it might look good for Hillary in this poll at this time, she has a few things going against her. Age is one of them, a meeting of the big shot lefties from Wall Street at Johnny's Half Shell in D.C. to find their next puppet like Obama, and last, Rand Paul has gained tremendous respect and recognition for taking on this regime we have now and never giving in.
If Rand runs, he is gonna be hard to beat.
