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.

While Clinton and Bush are the favored candidates in North Carolina by registered voters in their respective parties, neither were the only politicians whose names were mentioned by poll respondents. Among Democratic registered voters, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren was the second-most cited potential candidate. Among Republicans, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was the second-most cited name behind Bush.

3. I'm done supporting a rigged game

I'll support the truth now. It's time.The consequences may be difficult for a period of time but, If not now when...? It will never happen with this "rigged corrupt system". The "Con's will eventually buckle and fall under there own evil weight. The shares of common good are collecting on the side of truth now it can't be stopped. It's time for a "revolution" of honest good people and this will never happen with people who believe we must accept what the "Selected Owners "of this country want us to believe.

4. I like Bernie but as an avowed socialist

He has no chance of being elected president. He is not even a member of the Democratic Party.

6. And my prediction is he won't run Hillary

Will go to him with some BS plan so he won't get in the race and challenge her.She's already meet with Warren
