Hillary Clinton Takes Hit in WSJ Poll, but Holds Edge Over GOP Rivals
Wall Street Journal ^ | May 4, 2015 | JANET HOOK

Democratic front-runner sees those with negative view jump to 42%; Bush draws most support on GOP side

Hillary Clinton’s stature has been battered after more than a month of controversy over her fundraising and email practices, but support for her among Democrats remains strong and unshaken, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.

In just seven weeks, a period in which Mrs. Clinton formally began her presidential campaign, the share of people with a negative view of her jumped to 42% from 36% in last month’s survey, and only a quarter of registered voters said they viewed her as honest and straightforward, down from 38% last summer.

In an early assessment of the still-emerging GOP field, Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, drew the most support among GOP primary voters, with 23% naming him their top choice. But by some measures, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Mr. Bush’s onetime protégé, showed signs of broader strength. Nearly three quarters of GOP primary voters said they could see themselves supporting him, even if he wasn’t their first choice, a larger share than claimed by any rival.

The only question is will the GOP candidate actually use anything against ‘saint’ Hillary.

•Hillary can be beaten, she has a hardcore of believers, but overall her support is shrinking

Well that depends on the die hard conservatives. If it is not their candidate they will stay home or throw away a protest vote. To me, I would vote for any of the listed Republicans if they were the nominee. The thought of Hillary picking a couple of Supreme Court Justices scares the hell out of me, as it should any conservative. I can see 2 or 3 retiring or dying in the next 3 to 4 years.

Why is there no one of color running for President from the race-obsessed Democrat party?

how about Everything? less than that hasn’t worked in the past. And we’ve seen after billions spent the outcome changed maybe 1 or 2 percent from earliest polls.

Republicans and Clinton are all stealth candidates. So one has come forth with what he/she would do if elected but he/she wants your vote anyway. If one of the GOP runners would tell the public what he/she would do, that would be the leader. As it is Clinton will win because she and they all stand for nothing but their contributors. /s/ The forgotten middle class.

If it is Hillary the Republicans win with a true conservative - the only one is Walker. If the Dems. put up anyone else the Republicans can only lose with Jeb Bush.
