Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has emerged as the front-runner for the 2016 presidential race, surging ahead of potential candidates like Vice President Joseph Biden and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, according to a new poll.
Clinton would defeat three potential Republican presidential candidates if the 2016 presidential election were held now, with Christie second in a field of three Democrats and three Republicans selected by Quinnipiac University for a national poll released on Thursday.
Biden and New York’s Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo would not fare nearly as well, the independent Quinnipiac University poll finds.
‘Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would start a 2016 presidential campaign with enormous advantages,’ says Peter A Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
The former first lady and the Democratic senator from New York leads the Republican New Jersey governor 45-37 per cent, according to the survey, which asked American voters about nine possible general election matchups in the next race for the White House. 65-year-old Clinton, however, has said she has no plans to run for the White House in 2016 as she wants to rest after years in spotlight.
