Hillary Clinton is supported by a whopping 66 percent of registered Democrats for the presidential nomination, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll released Thursday.

Joe Biden (who is uncertain to run) and Elizabeth Warren (who has repeatedly said she won’t run) are tied for second place with 12 percent each.

Clinton is far stronger heading into the 2016 Democratic primary than she was at this stage of the 2008 election.

A March 2007 poll by CNN/ORC found her supported by her backed by 37 percent of Democrats, with Barack Obama behind with 22 percent, Al Gore winning 14 percent and John Edwards pulling 12 percent.

  1. Further to my comment on the “Family Members as liability” discussion:

    She’s going to win.

  2. But…, But…But…The Democrats are going to have to coronate her. That is so boring to us. What will will we have to talk and gossip about? What about the horse race? What about the debates and the attendent “zingers”?. We’ll just have to make shit up. O.K., we do that anyway. But it’s going to be so borrring. Maybe you can at least get the Archbishop of Canterbury; those guys are great at coronating; to attend the Democratic Coronating Convention to provide some color [or in Brit-speak colour.]

    Signed,

    The MSM

  3. She will win. It’s about time too.
    Jeb won’t make it.

  4. Just what America needs: Ronald Reagan in a pantsuit…
    In Hillary you have everything that is wrong with the Democratic party.

  5. Keep your friends, close Hillary. And feckless Democrats closer.
