Poll: Hillary Clinton winning Catholics, Protestants, and 36% of evangelicals

Polling suggests that Hillary Clinton would win over 50 of the vote in 2016, more than her...

With a crushing dominance shown in repeated polls, Democrat Hillary Clinton is on a path to do something her husband and two-term president never achieved: win a majority of more than 50 percent of the presidential vote in 2016.

In the latest poll, Zogby Analytics confirmed the trend showing the former secretary of state, one-term New York senator and former first lady beating Sen. Rand Paul, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie by more than 50 percent.

Seizing a majority would give her substantial bragging rights over her husband, who won in 1992 with just 43 percent of the vote and re-election in 1996 with 49 percent. In each year, Bill Clinton and the Republican candidate lost votes to independent Ross Perot.

Aided by a huge gender gap, Clinton in the Zogby poll edges Bush 51 percent to 33 percent, beats Paul 53 percent to 32 percent and wins over Christie 52 percent to 29 percent.

She leads the Republicans among virtually all groups of voters, including younger Americans, men, white voters and independents. Shes even supported by 36 percent of evangelical voters.

Asked where she falls short, pollster John Zogby told Secrets that she loses Republicans, conservatives and evangelicals.

For today, Mrs. Clinton is riding a crest and the GOP candidates are under water, said Zogby, who also does the weekly Obama Report Card for Secrets. It posts every Saturday morning.

Some of the details from Zogby's latest polling:

In a race against former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Mrs. Clinton leads 51% to 33%, with 16% undecided. A close look at the poll's internals suggests that the former First Lady and U.S. Senator strongly holds on to the main elements of the Democratic base that propelled Barack Obama to victory twice. She leads 49% to 38% among men and 53% to 29% among women; she holds big leads among all voting groups under 65; she wins 87% support among Democrats and holds a 17-point lead among independents (45%-28%); has a 37 point lead with moderates (58%-21%) and almost clears the deck with liberals (87%-5%).

Pussy Riot hook up with Hillary Clinton

YouTube Videos Tweets Comments

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, the twosome from Pussy Riot, just had their prison sentences waved aside by Russia. They have made appearances in the United States especially at the Women in the World Summit.

Their reputation is one of being punk rockers and extreme rebels with a cause. The charges against them consisted of stirring up religious animosity via their punk prayer.

But now those charges have been dropped and they are free. The anti-Putin chants the girls took part in, when they entered a church and began the whole inflammatory act got them into trouble with Russian law.

But Putin is a pretty clever guy. Instead of reacting to the whole situation, he decided to gain sympathy for the Sochi Olympics and so he gave them a pardon.

However, the laxity is for the religious hatred act and not for the hooliganism they caused. The hooliganism sentence may extend to seven years.

Meanwhile, the two met Hillary Clinton at the summit. Clinton took the opportunity to have her picture taken with them. She said that it was such a delight to meet two brave and strong girls who will not have their voices silenced in Russia.

The punk rockers are not fools and they can see through the cunning Putins ruse. He is just being good to them in order to better his atrocious image in the world community.

In an interview, the two girls spoke of how they were given such oppressive treatment at the hands of the repressive government forces in Russia. When we got released, we didnt have any illusions at all that Putins regime became more liberal, said Tolokonnikova.

They said that they wanted Russia to be a free country. And they also thanked the ordinary people who had always taken their side. Where would they have been without the support of these kindred souls?

Hillary Clinton says excessive partisanship taking America backwards

Feb. 26, 2014 Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton speaks at UM in Coral Gables, Fla.

NEW YORK Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday night that excessive partisanship flowing through the nation's political system is causing the U.S. to march "backwards instead of forward" and pointed to fall elections as a sign of how the country might tackle problems.

The former secretary of state reflected on her time at the State Department, the U.S. relationship with Russia and the advice she gives to young women during her appearance at the annual Women in the World summit. But when the moderator asked her to address the nation's future, Clinton cited the need to "get back to evidence-based decision-making."

"There is just pure ideology, pure partisanship. We disguise a commercial interest behind a political facade and the result is that we're kind of marching backwards instead of forward," Clinton said. She said the U.S. needs to address economic hardships facing many young people to produce an "inclusive prosperity."

The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate noted that "we have an election coming up this year. And we ought to be paying attention to that because that will set the parameters for a lot of what can and should be done."

Clinton spoke alongside International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde in a discussion moderated by journalist and best-selling author Thomas L. Friedman.

Asked about her tenure as secretary of state, Clinton compared it to a relay race. "You run the best race you can run, you hand off the baton," she said. "Some of what hasn't been finished may go on to be finished."

Some critics of Clinton have said her time at the State Department was marked by caution and failed to produce any major diplomatic victories -- reasoning that any diplomatic breakthroughs by Secretary of State John Kerry on Iran, Mideast peace or other global crises might diminish her record.

Clinton said she was "very proud of the stabilization and the really solid leadership that the administration provided" that allowed the U.S. to address problems in Ukraine and other global hotspots. "I think we really restored American leadership in the best sense," she said.

Turning to Russia, Clinton said the U.S. and its European allies need to be both "smart and patient" in dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin's bold annexation of Crimea. She said Putin was "motivated by the past" and trying to build up his political base at home by spurring nationalism and stopping Europe's influence in the region. "I really believe over the long run it's a losing strategy," she said.

Hillary Clinton: Media Promotes 'Double Standard' for Women

Apr 4, 2014 2:47am

Hillary Clinton said the double standard in how the media talks about women in public life is alive and well during a discussion on the opening night of Tina Browns 3-day Women in the World Foundation summit, which kicked off Thursday evening at New York Citys glitzy Lincoln Center.

Flanked by IMF chief Christine Lagarde and New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, who moderated the exchange, Clinton didnt hold back.

There is a double standard, obviously, she told Friedman, to warm applause. We have all either experienced it or at the very least seen it The double standard is alive and well and I think, in many respects, the media is the principle propagator of its persistence.

Friedman led into the question by recounting Scrunchiegate, an episode from Clintons time as secretary of state. A powerful world leader, the story goes, was worried to welcome Clinton when she arrived with her hair tied back, believing it was a sign Madame Sectretary was bearing bad news.

Clinton came to the David H. Koch Theater yes, that David H. Koch bearing very little news about a potential presidential run. Not that Friedman didnt do his best to squeeze something out of her.

Madame Secretary, he began, is there any other job youd be interested in? Comptroller of the state of Illinois?

Not right now, Clinton replied, much to the disappointment of the dozens of supporters in Ready for Hillary gear, actively pursuing information from attendees both outside and in the auditorium.

Friedman tried again, if only a bit more subtly, a few minutes later.

What do you feel is unfinished and youd like to have another crack at one day? he asked.
