I dont understand why people like you believe that logic even when we have had almost 10 years of Presidential polling on Hillary

Not too many young voters are thrilled with Hilary... No appeal.
The Woman vote maybe split.
The minority vote, is uncertain with the charm she exudes. She ain't getting 98% of the black vote to turn out.(more than the white vote per capita, by a long shot)

The pro Hillary people here should check out some of the videos on YT that have been made about the body count in regards to the Clintons starting back when they were in Arkansas - as well as the drug running coming out of Mena, Arkansas. Both the Bushes and the Clintons are criminals, or at least highly suspect of being criminals. Ever wonder why they're such good buddies now, with Billy-Bob going golfing and talking to GHWB frequently?

The two party system needs to be ended; there's plenty of other parties out there with candidates that aren't disgusting liars, panderers, sex addicts or corporate whores.

An ORC poll was partially released today. ORC is a leader in business intelligence, a specialized field that uses polling to devise plans for business growth, retaining employees, marketing, etc. The poll may have been conducted for campaign marketing purposes, so much of it wasn't released to the public, but the head to head favorability for Hillary vs. all the current GOP possibles was released.

The poll was conducted by telephone interview conducted over March 13-15th with just over 1,000 interviews.

Hillary enjoys a solid 53% voter favorability over all of the Republicans right now. Her favorability is down from 59%, the figure the last earlier poll found, but her average remains at a solid 55%. Earlier polls had her up as far as 60%, but she has never dipped into the 40's.

Among the Republicans, Rand Paul comes closest with 41%, 11 points behind Hillary.
Marco Rubio is next, trailing behind at 13 points.
Mike Huckabee follows, trailing at 14 points.
Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and Chris Christie all trail by 15 points.
…and Ben Carson trails last at 16 points behind.

The poll was taken after the news of Hillary's emails was released, so it's apparent her email usage isn't gaining any more voter traction against her than Benghazi did. The poll, coming so soon afterward, would have shown a much larger dip than it did if there was widespread disapproval over the email.

This far out, it's a given that the actual election results are going to be much closer, and of course, there are more unknowns than knowns at this time, but with such long-lasting solid favorability, solid for over 2 years now, it is obvious Hillary is more popular now than she was at this time in 2007. In all likelihood, she will run once more unless there is some physical problem that prevents it.

And once more, the Republicans are facing the same old problems. Too little name recognition among the present leaders, too many possible contenders, and too much voter disfavor of how the Republican party is conducting it's business. Another pre-primary fiasco like the one in 2012 will only hurt the Republicans more this time than last, as there is no one better known than Romney running this time.

It is also becoming apparent that Virginia is probably the only swing state to be in play in 2016. Hillary's favorability has hardened in all the other swing states of 2012, including Ohio. It this proves true, the Republicans are going to have an even more difficult time of reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
