They make a great triumverate, in any combination.

Unbelievable. HC is just Obama in a dress or worse.
yhxqqsn on March 21, 2013 at 2:18 PM
This has been a headline since about 2004. Go away already!
JR on March 21, 2013 at 2:20 PM
That’s what I think too. Then I remember it’s all about free stuff now.

“What difference does it make?!”

62-33? Uh, yeah. Get back to me when she has to start campaigning. The reason Hillary is popular right now is that people have had 5 years to forget why they used to hate her. She’s a blank slate candidate like Obama was circa 2008.
Doughboy on March 21, 2013 at 2:22 PM
But but but Rubio is the electable one!
Fenris on March 21, 2013 at 2:24 PM
anyone that would care about polls three years out is a class A idiot.

Somebody had to come up with a story for a deadline.
How stupid
jake-the-goose on March 21, 2013 at 2:28 PM
Well, I’m sure once the “undocumented citizens” hear about Rubio’s outreach those numbers will turn around.
Panther on March 21, 2013 at 2:30 PM
I’m sure she’ll drink to that!
tommyboy on March 21, 2013 at 2:30 PM
Oh, man…41% approval for Rubio in his home state???
ddrintn on March 21, 2013 at 2:31 PM
er…favorability.
ddrintn on March 21, 2013 at 2:31 PM
…
I’m thinking of moving to Texas.
BigGator5 on March 21, 2013 at 2:31 PM
When are we going to see polls telling us how many GOP voters would rather he not run in 2016?
ddrintn on March 21, 2013 at 2:32 PM
wait, would rather he DIDN’T run. There.
ddrintn on March 21, 2013 at 2:34 PM
Eh, we’ve stopped voting for even a semblance of experience or ability, now it’s just checking off a certain “minority” box and asking how much free stuff will flow.
Killary will probably get elected and the final nail will be pounded into the national coffin.
Bishop on March 21, 2013 at 2:34 PM
Yeah, but only 34% disapprove. That’s right in line with Hillary and Jeb’s unfavorables. The difference is that a quarter of the electorate down there doesn’t have an opinion on the guy.
Doughboy on March 21, 2013 at 2:35 PM
Benghazi proved that she’s as stupid at 3:00a.m. as is he.
They are both Utopian socialist/commies.
Schadenfreude on March 21, 2013 at 2:35 PM
Hillary was doing well in the polls in 2006 also
terryannonline on March 21, 2013 at 2:37 PM
Hillary will crush us, it doesn’t matter who we run
Obama was a once in a generation candidate for them, no one else under the sun could have beat her in 2008
She’ll clear the field and have a billion dollars locked up the second she formally announces for 2016, let alone a rapturous media shilling for her stronger than they did for BHO in 2008, plus the greatest campaigner of our generation (Bill) pounding the trail for her
No one we can run will have a prayer unless we spend the next 3 years destroying her and Bill– starting NOW
thurman on March 21, 2013 at 2:42 PM
This country is a scanner civilization, and Florida is the worst of the worst states now that everyone got rich by scamming BP. Whitetrash is now officially a commie demographic, and that’s about 70% of FL.
bernverdnardo1 on March 21, 2013 at 2:44 PM
LOL, yeah, but gosh…still don’t have an opinion?
ddrintn on March 21, 2013 at 2:45 PM
*sad trombone*
Dack Thrombosis on March 21, 2013 at 2:46 PM
Hey now. I’m white trash and I’m not a commie. Well, only to the extent that I said Romney would lose.
ddrintn on March 21, 2013 at 2:46 PM
“Us”? LOL Hey man, the GOP owes me nothing and I owe it nothing. No dog in that fight.
ddrintn on March 21, 2013 at 2:48 PM
Sanford/Schwarzenegger — 2016
Schadenfreude on March 21, 2013 at 2:49 PM
there is no need for polls this early… sigh
Sachiko on March 21, 2013 at 2:55 PM
He’s a Senator in the minority party a mere 2 years into his first term. Aside from amnesty….errrr, immigration reform, what else has he done to make anyone in Florida or anywhere else in the country take notice?
Doughboy on March 21, 2013 at 2:58 PM
We need to just chill out about this. Obviously, Clinton is going to run and be our Historical First Woman Prezy. She has lots of goodwill. And in fact, many people thought that our Deal Leader stole the election from Hill in the first place.
Sure, is it uncomfortable to watch a nation transform into a dynastic gluing class and be ruled by Peronistas…sure.
In a morbid little way i’m kinda hoping that Jeb runs, so that we can have a Bush/Clinton 2016 race. It would send a message of decline around the world…and who knows, maybe more could wake up.
Or, we could learn to live with the pleasantness of the Decline (per Steyn)…
r keller on March 21, 2013 at 2:59 PM
What is the point of polling four years out? This just silly.
midgeorgian on March 21, 2013 at 3:01 PM
There won’t be much of an America left to preside over in January 2017 anyway. Obamacare will have been in full effect for 3 years at that point. We’ll have had 8 consecutive years of weak or non-existent economic growth. And we’ll be looking at a minimum of $20 trillion in debt. If a majority of the electorate is more interested in making history again instead of putting someone competent in the White House, then let it burn.
Doughboy on March 21, 2013 at 3:03 PM
Heh, wait til the retirees in FL get to experience the wonders of Obamacare over the next three and a half years.
antipc on March 21, 2013 at 3:03 PM
Well, that’s a wrap, cancel the ’16 election, we have a winner.
Remember when Hillary won the Democratic Party nomination in ’08?
ButterflyDragon on March 21, 2013 at 3:22 PM
Can anyone name 1 Hillary accomplishment? Nothing springs to mind except snark.
BJ* on March 21, 2013 at 3:23 PM
Accomplished people make Americans feel stupid, so they want the least Accomplished person as their prez hemce the current prez.
ChunkyLover on March 21, 2013 at 3:50 PM
Democrat lite vs democrat ugly.
Yeah. They like ugly.
RovesChins on March 21, 2013 at 3:56 PM
She’s gonna be the next preezy unless someone kept one of Huma’s blue dresses.
Rational Thought on March 21, 2013 at 4:16 PM
This is a bracing reminder to all who believe the election of the empty-suited ,Marxist lightworker is an aberration.
.
This indicates that the low information, Julia Idiocracy is ready to put the final nail in the coffin of the Republic.

Dire Straits on March 21, 2013 at 6:19 PM
Not that it will really matter at that point, but Hillary Clinton will not win the election in 2016, or any year after for that matter.
xblade on March 21, 2013 at 6:25 PM
She managed to get 4 Americans killed in Libya. That takes a lot of work. Most Americans wouldn’t have thought to even put them there in the first place.
