Clinton Remains Very Tough to Beat

A new Quinnipiac poll
finds Hillary Clinton to be a very strong potential candidate against several named GOP competitors in a 2016 presidential race. Clinton
leads Jeb Bush, 48% to 40%, and Sen. Rand Paul, 49% to 41%, by eight points.

First Read points out that her number has fallen slightly in recent week but she’s still formidable: “She’s running ahead of both Bush and Paul among women by 20-plus points, and she trails among men in the single digits. If she runs and if that gender gaps persists, she’d be VERY DIFFICULT to beat.”
