"SNIP................................................

Rand Paul's well publicized filibuster last month has vaulted him up the list of Republican contenders in PPP's newest look ahead to the 2016 Presidential contest.

Marco Rubio continues to lead nationally, as he has on all four of our 2016 polls so far. He's at 21% this month, basically the same as 22% the month before the State of the Union address. Rubio's favorability of 62/10 is slightly better than 59/12 in early February. The whole water drinking episode hasn't had any effect on his standing- nor has his stance on immigration reform.

The big move though has come from Paul. In early February he was in 6th place among Republican contenders at just 10%. Now he's vaulted all the way up to 2nd place at 17%. Chris Christie is 3rd at 15% and Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush are tied for 4th at 12%. Rounding out the folks we polled are Rick Santorum at 5%, Bobby Jindal at 4%, Rick Perry at 2%, and Susana Martinez at 1%.

...................................

On the Democratic side support for Hillary Clinton to be the party nominee has hit its highest level of support in our national polling since the election last year. 64% of the party's voters want her to be the candidate to 18% for Joe Biden, 5% for Elizabeth Warren, and 3% for Andrew Cuomo with no one else polling above 2%. Clinton has majority support from liberals and moderates, men and women, African Americans, Latinos, and white voters, and voters within every age group that we track.

where there is no incumbent.

While Jeb will be the candidate, imagine if Rand was the nominee...

Hillary would win Wyoming and Kansas along with all the other states.

Hillary will against anyone win Texas and Kentucky and Arkansas and Tennessee and George and Florida and West Virginia and all the blue states

I predict 450 and up come Nov. 7, 2016.
Sweeping the senate, house and by 2018 a 6 to 3 Scotus.

Everything you ever dreamed of will be completed by 2019.

Normally, of course, someone has at most in the high 20s or low 30s.

64% and rising.

Unfreaking believable.

For the continuation of President Obama's agenda.

and this is all said with NO hyperbole.
