I know it's an early poll but I have to say I am surprised that Hillary is getting this much consideration as a 2106 presidential candidate. According to election stats, Iowa has majority voted the past 3 out of 4 presidential elections for the Democrat candidate. But Hillary? I don't get it.....

Poll: Clinton clobbers GOP contenders in Iowa
By Rebecca Shabad

Hillary Clinton holds substantial leads over several 2016 GOP presidential contenders in Iowa, according to a new poll.

Clinton leads Gov. Chris Christie (N.J.) 48 percent to 35 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

That's a remarkable shift from December, when a Quinnipiac poll found Christie leading Clinton 45 to 40 percent. Christie has since taken a hit from the George Washington Bridge scandal in which staffers and appointees of the governor appeared to close lanes on the bridge as part of a political vendetta, snarling traffic in the process.

Clinton also leads Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) 49 to 39 percent, Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) 51 to 35 percent and former Gov. Jeb Bush (Fla.) 51 to 37 percent in the poll.

The poll found only 39 percent of Iowans approve of President Obama’s job performance, but his negative rating doesn’t seem to affect opinions of Clinton.

"Politics is a team sport and the head of the blue team, President Barack Obama, isn't doing well in the eyes of Iowans. But that doesn't seem to be hurting teammate Hillary Clinton who swamps potential 2016 Republican competitors among the same electorate," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, in a statement.

More than half of voters in Iowa, which hosts the first presidential contest in the nation in 2016, say Clinton would make a good president. She was the only potential candidate to receive a positive score in the poll.

Only a quarter of those surveyed said Vice President Biden would make a good president.

Just over a third of people, 36 percent, say Christie would make a good president. He had been considered the GOP’s likely front-runner before the bridge scandal unfolded.

By contrast, 41 percent say Christie wouldn’t make a good president and 23 percent said they don’t know.

What is really going to be fun is to see Hillary trashed by her fellow Democrats who are her primary opponents.

That sounds a bit low for Hillary. But still indicative of the strong challenge any GOP candidate would have against Hillary. And that's in a state that is a swing state, and has very low Hispanic. and African American populations.

Here's what's driving it in Iowa. Women voters.

Christie was a good candidate to win in the general. I still think Hillary would have beaten him, but that's not really an issue anymore (Hillary would crush Christie now).

Rand Paul and Ted Cruz enjoy a lot of support among conservatives. But no one else likes them. And for all the screeching about Benghazi, Hillary remains very popular. People remember the Clinton era quite favorably. She'll crush the GOP with women. She'll retain the same level and largely the same enthusiasm in the African American community (she's Bill's wife, remember). She is, for some reason, incredibly popular in the Hispanic Community (does anyone remember the Hispanic vote in the 2008 Primaries - all to Hillary).

And she plays the hard game too.

The GOP needs to understand that people are NOT going to elect a doctrinaire conservative like Rand Paul or a nut like Ted Cruz. Both of them will lose 40+ states.

If Hillary runs, think about the Obama coalition, only stronger.

Name ID, ability to raise money, Bill Clinton?

Well...another unqualified candidate. Leadership is really lacking in America.

wow, that is one biased a**ed poll when you look at how the questions are worded, both individually and in context together. Of course they got those results they were looking for.

Noticed they didn't ask about Rubio or other Rep potentials by name. Very carefully constructed to make it seem like Hillary has the upper hand. Time will tell.

Dude, there's a reason the Constitution is so vague on the qualifications to be President.

Because Rubio would poll even farther behind the ones they listed.

It's WAY to early to read anything into this.

Sleazy lawyer, invisible senator, incompetent secretary of state, shrew.

Really? She's been on simmer for years. There is no other main Dem candidate, and any name being mentioned is either strategizing for the long term, or a jobber to make the primaries appear legit.

Hillary was always destined to be president...the only reason she didn't win in 08 is because Obama came up through the ranks like a bat out of hell. Women across the country will be demanding a female president and the media will spin it to make it seem that anyone who doesn't vote for Clinton is a covert sexist, just like how anybody who didn't vote for Obama was a covert racist.

I'm not going to tell you about how biased this poll is because I know it makes your pecker tickle, especially since you know the demoshits are about to lose a lot of seats in the Senate.

I have no problem voting for a woman for president.

Just not THAT woman.
