Hillary Clinton is running 8 percentage points ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in his home state, the Quinnipiac Poll said Thursday.

Another former Florida governor, Republican-turned-Democrat Charlie Crist, would beat Gov. Rick Scott by 10 points if the election were held now. Quinnipiac said that a big reason appears to be that Florida voters, by 15 points, say Crist is more compassionate than Scott.

Among Democrats, Clinton has huge leads over Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Bush beats a big field of potential Republican contenders for the 2016 presidential nomination, getting 27 percent of the Republicans compared to 14 percent for Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and 11 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

The poll found that Clinton's advantage over Bush is 49-41. With the rest of the potential Republican field she was the choice of more than half of respondents, leading Rubio 52-40 and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie 52-34.

A January Quinnipiac Poll found Crist leading Scott 46-38, a lead that has edged up to 48-38. More than half, 53 percent of respondents, said Scott does not deserve another term in office.

"So far, Florida Gov. Rick Scott's television barrage apparently has had no impact on the race. The incumbent has not been able to reduce former Gov. Charlie Crist's lead. In fact, voters see Crist's party switch in a positive light and the incumbent's effort to tie Crist's support for Obamacare has not yet borne fruit," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the polling institute at Quinnipiac in Hamden, Conn.

Just over half, 52 percent, said Crist did a good job when he was governor, compared to 42 percent who say Scott is doing well.

Crist was governor from 2007 to 2011. He left the Republican Party after Rubio challenged him for the U.S. Senate nomination and polls showed he would lose the primary, but won 30 percent of the vote as an independent in a three-way race in November 2010. Crist joined the Democrats two years later.

Quinnipiac surveyed 1,413 registered voters in Florida between April 23 and April 28. The poll has a margin of error of 2.6 points for the entire sample and 4.4 points among the partisan groups.

Hillary Clinton Outpolls Jeb Bush in Florida

If the 2016 presidential election were held today between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, it would be a Clinton landslide, a poll shows. But that's not the troubling data for Mr. Bush.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has a wide lead over Jeb Bush in a head-to-head presidential match-up, according to new numbers from a Washington Post/ABC News poll. When survey respondents were asked who theyd vote for if the election were held today, 53 percent picked Mrs. Clinton, versus the 41 percent who said their choice would be Mr. Bush.

Thats a pretty hefty cushion for the former US secretary of State, isnt it? Its particularly impressive if you run through the poll's cross-tabs and look at the different demographic groups those numbers represent. Clinton gets 94 percent of Democrats, a plurality of 47 percent of independents, 59 percent of moderates, even 25 percent of self-described conservatives. She gets 59 percent of women, to Bushs 36 percent.

Should Bush, a former Florida governor, be worried about these figures, assuming hes interested in running for president? No, not really. (Theres other stuff about the current political landscape that should concern him, though. Well talk about that in a bit.)

First, its just one poll. As we wrote Tuesday about President Obamas approval numbers, individual polls represent a single snapshot, and you need a full photo album to get a picture about whats really going on.

Second, the numbers will change. The Post/ABC numbers include all registered voters, which is a wide net to cast. When the election approaches, pollsters will query likely voters, a narrower demographic that tends to increase the Republican lean by a few percentage points.

Bill Clinton was the headliner, but it was his wife Hillary Clinton who got a standing ovation in Washington today.

Hillary Clinton attended her husbands speech at Georgetown University which was the second of a four part series Bill Clinton is giving focusing on the essential elements of effective service and detailing events that have shaped his career.

Hillary Clinton seemed to surprise the crowd when she entered the hall, receiving a rousing reception from the audience, that included a standing ovation. Bill Clinton got a laugh when he mentioned his wife and possible 2016 presidential candidate at the top of his remarks.

I want to thank Hillary for coming with me today. Its been a long time, Clinton said, stopping for a moment for loud cheers. She hasnt had to sit through one of these in ages.

It seems that everyone wanted to take a picture of Hillary too:
