The Only Bad Numbers for Clinton Are on the Calendar [View All]

Now, even the Republicans are all talking about Hillary Clinton as if she’s got the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination all wrapped up.

There’s three reasons that the GOP hopefuls are talking so much about the Senator from New York. First, they’d rather talk about her than the current Republican President. Second, the country is fairly evenly divided on Senator Clinton and a 50-50 split is better than the GOP can do on just about any issue in the debate today. Finally, of course, it’s because Clinton’s numbers look so good.

In fact, it’s hard to find a poll of the Democratic race where Clinton is anywhere but on top. Rasmussen Reports shows her leading nationally, in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida.

Not only that, as her lead has grown, she is also seen as the most electable Democrat—50% of Democratic voters say Clinton is Very Likely to win it all if she is nominated. Another 31% say she is Somewhat Likely to win. No other candidate, in either party, comes close to those numbers.
