Elon Poll: Looking ahead to 2016, N.C. favors Clinton over Bush



In a hypothetical 2016 matchup between two of the biggest names in American politics, Hillary Clinton is the current favorite to win North Carolina over Jeb Bush in a presidential race that many respondents in the latest Elon University Poll said they would like to see.

Forty-six percent of registered voters said they would vote for Clinton, the Democratic former U.S. secretary of state and wife to former president Bill Clinton, over Jeb Bush, a former Republican governor of Florida and brother to former president George W. Bush, as well as son of former president George H.W. Bush.

Just 40 percent of registered voters supported Bush in the hypothetical matchup, with 11 percent of registered voters indicating someone else.
