* Hillary Rodham Clinton has the support of half of American voters
* More than 80 per cent of Democratic voters say they would back her
* In contrast only 31 per cent of U.S. voters would back Jeb Bush
* Republican Bush announced he is 'actively exploring' running yesterday
Hillary Rodham Clinton is the early frontrunner in the 2016 presidential election, a poll has said.
Although the former Secretary of State has yet to announce her candidacy, 50 per cent of American voters have said they can see themselves supporting her if she runs.
Mrs Clinton, 67, has said she will make her decision on whether or not to run for the White House 2016 early next year.
The poll found that half of voters support another Clinton president, while 48 per cent oppose it.
Despite only a small margin of support, hers is significantly stronger than that of any rumoured Republican nominees.
One reason for this could be that Ms Clinton, a former first lady and New York senator is viewed as the likely Democratic nominee if she runs with few other candidates seen as competition.

Half of Americans are on welfare, disability and meth.
She’s the name everyone knows.
These preliminary presidential primary polls (or PPPPs as I call them) are about as useless as they are irrelevant.
Obviously a person with a name like Clinton, Bush, or Romney is going to score higher than lesser known candidates due primarily to name ID.
HRC was thought to have a lock on the Dem nomination in 2008, but it did not turn out that way.
Given the degenerate state of American society she has a lock on the election. She will be the Coup de Gras of American life.
The MSM is gonna make damn sure nothing changes in this country, trying as hard as they are that nobody with any new ideas has a prayer of being elected.
Polls conducted in LGBT bars per chance?
For the first time ever in a post, I will direct attention to my tagline
Liberal lies from the enemy media. Bill Clinton is among the most hated men of the last 100 years. And, thus it follows that the evil, anti-American Hitlery is likewise despised, perhaps even more so. Everyone I know passionately detests the Kriminal Kommie Klintoons.
Gruber, “stupidity of the American voter”, is standing by his opinion.
I agree.
When more care about voting for dances with the stars, it is all lost.
Believe it or not, she probably wouldn’t do as well in those venues as you might think.
They talking about the guy who climbed a mountain ?????
The very same 47% of brain-dead people living in America who will vote for anyone or anything that has a D following. The corrupt MSM can try to marginalize anyone for stating this fact, but the truth remains truth. John Gruber was spot on for these 47%.
LOL!
Amazing how the media controls peoples minds today. This woman has disaster in every single job she’s ever held. Her only success has been defending rapists.
Sir Edmund was not a natural born US citizen and he is dead as doornail (the latter is not known to stop Democrat politicians).
Most are voting for Dances With Wolves.
They polled black, Jewish, transgendered lesbians in Berkeley, California.
