THis is a CNN poll

(CNN) —Who among the nascent field of 2016 contenders represents the future? For half of Americans, it's Hillary Clinton.

Asked in a new CNN/ORC poll whether seven possible candidates better represent the future or the past, 50% said Clinton evoked the future, more than said so of any other candidate. By contrast, Joe Biden and Jeb Bush, whose names have been in the political conversation even longer than Clinton's, were each seen as representing the past by 64% of Americans.

Even some relative newcomers to national politics are more closely linked to the past than the future. Half said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie represents the past, while 43% said he represents the future. On Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, 49% thought he represented the past, 41% the future. And 42% thought Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker represented the past, 39% the future.

Overall, across the field of seven, just two were deemed more "future" than "past," and both were women: Clinton (50% future, 48% past) and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (46% future, 37% past).

Both Clinton and Warren prompt significant gender gaps, with women more likely than men to call each a representation of the future. Among men, 53% see Clinton as a representation of the past, while 55% of women see her representing the future. On Warren, women see her as more future than past by a 50% to 32% margin, while men split evenly, 43% on each side.

1. Clinton still way ahead with Democrats

Clinton still leads the field with 61%.
Her next closest competitor, Biden, has gained six points since December and stands at 14%. Warren follows at 10%. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley all remain in the low single digits.

2. These are the results you get and expect when you don't use a push poll.

Some tactics I have seen used before a primary has even started sure has left a sour taste in my mouth for giving money to certain Groups in the future.

Warren is not running, some of us know that, some are in denial. I take her at her word that she wants to remain our great Senior Senator from Massachusetts. She will make history there, just like the late Senator Ted Kennedy did. I have questioned all along why some so badly wish her to leave her Senate seat, maybe because the GOP fears her. She will indeed prove to be the their worst nightmare.

Some wish to pit Clinton and Warren against each other. As usual they call it a cat fight and I cringe when I see some calling Warren, Lizzie, it is misogyny pure and simple. IMHO, they have great respect for each other.

Thank you for the poll, Nancy.
