Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is comfortably ahead of potential Democratic rivals for the 2016 presidential nomination and holds double-digit leads against would-be Republican foes, according to a new poll.

Mrs. Clinton is the choice of two-thirds of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts at 9 percent and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. at 8 percent, the CNN/ORC poll said. Those numbers are essentially unchanged from a month ago.

Mrs. Clinton also leads potential Republican candidates when put into head-to-head match-ups. The closest potential rival is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who leads the GOP field of contenders but trails in a match-up with Mrs. Clinton, 54 percent to 41 percent.

She leads Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin by 15 points, 56 percent to 41 percent, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie by 17 points, 56 percent to 39 percent.

Mrs. Clinton also leads Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky by 20 points, 58 percent to 38 percent, and has 21-point leads over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

She also leads Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas by 25 points, 60 percent to 35 percent.

The survey of 1,011 adults was taken Dec. 18-21 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. It includes 469 Democrats, and the margin of error for that group is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

Provided by The Hill Poll finds Clinton up 57 points on Warren

Hillary Clinton holds a massive lead over Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a new poll released by CNN.

The CNN/ORC poll released Sunday finds that Clinton leads by 57 points, 66 percent to 9 percent, over Warren. That lead is essentially unchanged from a CNN poll in November, when Clinton was up 65 percent to 10 percent.

Warren insists she is not running, despite an effort by liberal groups like MoveOn.org to convince her to run.

Vice President Biden, who is also uncertain to run, comes in next, at 8 percent. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is looking to challenge Clinton from the left, gets 3 percent.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, and former Sen. Jim Webb (Va.), all get 1 percent.

There is more good news for Clinton in the general election, where she leads all the possible Republican opponents that were polled. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush comes closest, down 54 percent to 41 percent to Clinton.

Hillary Clinton narrowly avoided being hit by a protester's shoe in Las Vegas yesterday (April 10).

A woman was taken into custody after attempting to hit the former US Secretary of State during a speech at an Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries meeting at the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.

Clinton managed to duck and was not hit by the object, and later joked about the incident to the audience.

Security quickly removed the woman, who stated that she threw a shoe but has yet to explain her actions.

Police have since revealedd that the unnamed woman will be arrested.

Clinton has been travelling the US giving paid speeches and appearing before key Democratic Party constituents.

The incident echoes the infamous moment in 2008 when President George W Bush managed to skilfully duck two shoe throws from close range. Watch the incident below:
