Every public poll has shown that Democratic voters overwhelmingly back Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. A survey released Tuesday found she has plenty of support among Democrats on Capitol Hill, too.

The Hill released findings showing that 56 Democratic lawmakers back Clinton’s still-unofficial White House bid. The number includes 22 who have already publicly endorsed the former secretary of state — like Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — and another 34 who told The Hill that they support Clinton in 2016.
