Including 14% of Dems who affirm they will not back her in a general election, period.
"Just under half of Democratic primary voters nationwide say they would enthusiastically support Clinton if she became the party's nominee. Twenty-seven percent would support her with some reservations and another 11 percent would only back her because she is the nominee. Fourteen percent would not support her in a general election."
And the polling showing she leads w/ Democrats is skewed to the 20th century:
"Furthermore, recent polls showing Clinton ahead of Sanders by an astronomical figure target primarily landline telephones and also highlight the fact that even the landline telephone respondents don't trust or admire Clinton."
That's pretty typical at this stage of an election cycle.
I believe polls show something like 15-20% of Republicans would never vote for Trump. I doubt Cruz or Bush do any better.
The numbers will start to settle next summer after the two major party nominees are picked and after it's known whether or not Trump will run 3rd party.
"Never say never. Eighteen percent of GOP primary voters would “never” vote for Trump. That’s down significantly from the 33 percent who said so in August and the 59 percent in June."
HRC's numbers wholly against her candidacy will only rise.

Yeah, it would be a little hard for her to reinvent the Democratic party, and hard for her to promote some new "hope and change". She's just been around too long. Too much exposure.
Her best hope, IMO, is for Trump to get the nomination. But even then, watch for a phenomenally low voter turn out as voters get turned off by both of them.
On the other hand if a viable GOP candidate like Rubio gets the nod, people will show up in large numbers to vote against her. I think that's how John Kerry lost; people showed up just to vote against him.

CBS News: an alarming number of Democrats will not support HRC if Sanders doesn't take the primaries.
