A new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows thatHillary Clinton continues to maintain strong leads over any of her potential Republican challengers:

Hillary Rodham Clinton holds double-digit leads over potential Republican challengers Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney as the likely Democratic presidential candidate moves closer to entering the 2016 race, anew Washington Post-ABC News pollfinds.

Although Clinton, Bush and Romney are all longtime politicians and members of political dynasties, registered voters are less likely to count that familiarity against Clinton. That is a good sign for Clinton, a failed 2008 presidential candidate and the focus of Republican criticism that her time has come and gone.

Clintons potential to make history as the first female U.S. president makes little difference to most voters and is a net positive for others.

The former first lady, U.S. senator from New York and secretary of state has said she is considering a second run for the White House. She joked about the anticipation surrounding her decision during remarks in Canada on Wednesday but did not offer hints about her thinking or the timing of a possible announcement. Democratic strategists say she is likely to enter the race in late March or April some 10 months before the Iowa caucuses open the 2016 primary contests.

Clinton approaches the nominating season in a dominant position, leading Bush by 54percent to 41percent among registered voters and Romney by 55percent to 40percent.

Beyond Bush and Romney the two Republicans who have made the firmest moves toward a 2016 run Clinton holds equally large leads over other potential Republican hopefuls. She tops Rand Paul and Chris Christie by 13percentage points each, and leads Mike Huckabee by 17points.

Additionally, while much has been made about the issue of political dynasties and the problems that public distaste for the same old faces in politics could pose for potential campaigns by candidates such as Clinton, Jeb Bush, and Mitt Romney, the poll indicates that Bill Clinton is far from being a drag on a potential Hillary 201 6 campaign:

Clintons husband, former president Bill Clinton, appears to create little drag on her potential.

Among all voting-age adults, more than 6 in 10 say the fact that Bill Clinton served as president has no bearing on whether they would support Hillary Clintons candidacy. And among those who say her spouses presidency will matter, 23percent say it will make them more likely to support her, while 14percent say less likely.
