Here's a poll you won't hear nearly as much about as the ones showing Hillary Clinton with a relatively narrow lead over her possible Republican opponents. The
new CNN/ORC poll puts Jeb Bush at the front of the Republican primary field, drawing 19 percent support, with Donald Trump behind him at 12 percent, followed by Mike Huckabee at eight percent, Ben Carson and Rand Paul at seven percent, and Scott Walker and Marco Rubio at six percent. In general election head-to-heads, though, Clinton crushes them all. Let's lay it out so it's easy to see, shall we?
Hillary Clinton 54
Jeb Bush 41
Hillary Clinton 56
Marco Rubio 39
Hillary Clinton 56
Chris Christie 37
Hillary Clinton 59
Donald Trump 34
Hillary Clinton 57
Scott Walker 38
It's an early poll and it's a national poll, which are two good reasons not to put too much stock in it as a sign of where the race will be in November 2016. But these results are not open to much question about where the race stands now.
On another note, when Republican and Republican-leaning voters were asked which Republican candidate could best handle illegal immigration, Donald Trump came in second with 13 percent. A little something to think about as he runs around saying Mexican immigrants are rapists.
