Another interesting poll

I like Walker the most of all of those running or looking to run.

Rubio is the GOP s only shot and he can't win the primary.

What? You mean to tell me that polls taken well before an election aren't good predictors of the final outcome? Say it isn't so.

16 months is a long time.

I don't think it will be any of the junior senators. Not that they couldn't do a commendable job, head and shoulders better than this current disaster, but the Republican candidate and next President of the United States isn't even in the race yet. Just a hunch.

If memory serves, Hillary and Rudy were way ahead in all the polls at this point back in 2007.

That worked out well for both candidates.

Yea, you remember Newt trying to peddle the inevitability of his nomination? I do.

48. If the election for president were being held today and the candidates were
Hillary Clinton and Scott Walker, for whom would you vote?

Hillary Clinton 413 51.5
Scott Walker 320 39.8
Neither 47 5.8
Don't know 15 1.9
Refused 8 1.0

Down to 11.7 now...

Validity of poll is still suspect..

8. Scott Walker: Favorable/Unfavorable/Haven't heard enough about him yet?
Frequency Percent Valid Percent
Cumulative
Percent
Valid Favorable 335 41.77
Unfavorable 442 55.0

How did Walker win the Governor's race in November by 5.7 points with 52.3% of the vote and less than six month later have only a 41.7% approval rating. I think the Marquette folks might be a little anti-Walker.

Why won't Hillary answer questions from the media? She's in a cocoon.

If Hillary dies of a heart attack 2 weeks before the 2016 election, the Democrats will all still vote for her for one of 2 reasons - 1) there is a "D" by her name and that is all that matters. 2). They are so uninformed they have no clue she's dead.

You guys know I'm your buddy. Who has had the absolute PULSE of the electorate since 2006. I don't like seeing you guys in the dumpster emotionally. Resistance is futile. She's in.

You're waaaay too excited for Hillary.

She's just a horrible campaigner and has to be protected as much as possible.

It will never work imo. Too much personal baggage and she's not a very talented campaigner or speaker at all.

She will have her hardened supporters, but she will struggle to close the deal with swing voters.

Good to know that you excuse it.

Not only do I excuse it, it shows great judgement and savvy. Who do you want going up against Putin? They learned the lessons of Whitewater. You can't give these cons an inch. Pretty soon you'll be neck deep in subpoenas about blue dresses and getting questions on things that had NOTHING to do with whitewater. Splendid work Hillary. Trey Gowdy already threw in the towel this week on subpoenaing the server. It was smart and it shows me she's in it to win it.

Wondering what the definition of is is. Nope you set up a separate server so they can't go on fishing expeditions.

She could defect to ISIS and you would be here telling us what a brilliant political move it was.

Nope ISIS will probably tuck tail and run. You saw what happened to Vince Foster. So did ISIS.

Guys you're just getting worked up over the inevitable. Life's too short to get angry. Eat your peas. Understand she's probably an 80% favorite. The only guy who can cut her is Rubio and I don't see him getting to he general.
