The same things that make Clinton's numbers high among the general population also make her weak.

pretty please?

Does Hillary's low number exceed the amounts polled for the various Republican candidates, one by one, or does it exceed the TOTAL received by all Republican candidates. Assuming that they will all vote for one nomineee after their convention, I am interested in the total votes received by candidates, not individual ones.

Using this method, does she still poll ahead of them?

Thanks..

There is a PDF of the poll which shows the charts Clinton vs each Republican.

Linked in the story above:

Worth reading the whole thing if you get the chance.

It is something I have never understood. I can't grasp that the idea of how a frontrunner equals a coronation in your mind. I don't get how you make the leap. The poll you link to does show how strong of a frontrunner she is. They had to work to come up with something negative to say. Really good news for our party in the poll.

This is called a frontrunner.

"Clinton does even better in the expectations game: Seventy-two percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they expect her to win her party’s nomination. On the far more closely contested GOP side, a third of leaned Republicans expect Bush to win."

Really just tons of good news for Hillary in your link.

"That said, Clinton’s position vs. Bush is distinctly better than Obama’s vs. Mitt Romney at about this time in 2011, 48-44 percent."

"Clinton’s decline in favorability may have been predictable, in that it’s occurred as she’s moved from being the nation’s top diplomat back to the partisan world of a presidential campaign."

In a final fuck you to right wingers.

"THE FAMILY – Clinton has further help from the family. A remarkable 73 percent of Americans now say they approve of the way her husband handled his job as president from 1993-2001 – Bill Clinton’s highest retrospective rating on record, as well as higher than any he received while in office. Far fewer, 47 percent, approve of the way Bush’s brother, George W. Bush, handled his presidency from 2001-2009."

From the link in the op.
