Poll: Clinton Would Win Florida Over Bush, Rubio in 201 Thursday, 21 Mar 2013 08:59 AM By Lisa Barron Florida voters would favor Democrat Hillary Clinton by a wide margin over either former GOP Gov. Jeb Bush or GOP Sen. Marco Rubio in a presidential election if it were held today, according to new poll of state voters. The Quinnipiac University survey of 1,000 registered state voters taken March 13-18 put the former secretary of state ahead of Bush by a 51 percent to 40 percent margin and ahead of Rubio by 52 percent to 41 percent. “We probably won’t know for some time whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016. But if she decides to make the race, she begins with a sizable lead in a state that Republicans cannot win the White House without,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. While Clinton, who has consistently proven to be the strongest potential candidate in Quinnipiac national polls, has a whopping 93 percent to 5 percent favorability rating among Democrats in Florida, she is also viewed favorably by a respectable 26 percent of Republican voters. Equally significant, she has a 57 percent to 35 percent favorability rating among independents. Overall, Clinton was viewed more favorably by voters - 62 percent to 33 percent - than Bush and Rubio. Bush drew a 50 percent to 35 percent favorability rating, while Rubio received a 41 percent to 34 percent rating. In additional findings, the poll also revealed overwhelming support among Florida voters for the idea of mandatory universal background checks on people who want to buy guns, with 91 percent to 8 percent in favor. The survey also found that 51 percent of respondents favor tougher gun control laws, while 56 percent

Wouldn’t worry about it. I have a feeling that Benghazi is going to destroy Clinton. There are efforts by several hacking groups to expose Clinton for the liar she is, and I believe they’re going to succeed.

It just takes one email demonstrating a profound lack of empathy or care leaked to the right media outlet to turn her into a political dead zone.

Hillary has suffered two stokes over the last few years. The last being much more serious than was known in the general public. She will be lucky to be alive in 2016, let alone able to face the rigors of a 24/7 campaign.

Concentrate on veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate. Then it doesn’t matter what Democrat is in the White House, because the Repubicans cannot win a national election anymore. The MSM just won’t allow it.

Our own (p)resident is advocating killing americans here at home and he is still a rock star among voters. You think events that happened half the world away would sway these idiots???

So a real candidate favors abortion on demand, homosexual "marriage", and probably pragmatic spending (Continued deficit spending/Entitlements galore that you failed to include which appeases the masses like your two previous examples) in your opinion?

Remind me to never fight in a foxhole with you.

Time to take on Clinton now. Attack! No more of this waiting or have we not learned that to attack and discredit early is the only way to win elections.

I do not think anyone is surprised. The way I see it the far left has so many hooked on the freebies that they refuse to ever work. If they do work again, it will be to get qualified for UI again to kick back for another 90 weeks. Hell, some see section 8 housing, EBT cards, free cell phones, plus much more as the promised land.In Jamestown,VA we tried this socialism crap back in the 1600’s. The able bodied refused to work as long as they got food. They get a helluva lot more then food now to sit on their duffs and vote Dem.

Exactly. And most hispanics are big government socialists. That’s just the way it is. They will keep voting democrat no matter what.

Republicans will need to attract young libertarians if they want to win.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Yeah, I think it is slightly more than even money that she won’t even be above ground by 2016. She has something seriously wrong going on...

“She’d lose to Rand Paul.”

I don’t think so... She should, just as Obama should have lost, but the stupid voters will vote for the first woman president just as they voted for the black one.

If Clinton runs the only way we have a chance is to run a woman candidate.

JMHO

Florida has already gone past the minority demographic tipping point. Like California, it will now always go to the Democrats in Presidential races.

If the RINOS in our party, including Rand Paul, are able to push through Amnesty, we’re done anyway and the GOP might as well not field a candidate.

I’ll put $1000 down right now that either of them would win FL by at least 500,000 over Hillary or any Dem.
