Majority Back Clinton for President

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that 55% of Americans say they support Hillary Clinton running for president.

Rick Klein: “That’s a clear majority even without an announcement, though the scrutiny that comes with an actual run would surely impact those numbers. Remarkably, her support is just about unaffected by the passage of time: She had 57 percent support for a presidential run a month after President Obama’s reelection, when the post-2012 glow was still on. The question for Clinton, as her book rolls out and that rolls into midterm campaigning, is whether this support is a ceiling or a floor. She’s faced a nonexistent Democratic field and a disorganized Republican one. That won’t last forever.”
