July 8, 2014 - Clinton Owns Dem 2016 Nod; Tops Top Republicans, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; 2014 Generic House Race Tied, But Voters Hate Dems Less PDF format Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sweeps the Democratic primary field for the 2016 presidential race, taking 58 percent of the vote, and tops several possible Republican candidates by margins of 7 to 9 percentage points, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. There is no front-runner in the Republican presidential primary field, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Secretary Clinton leads the Democratic primary with 58 percent, followed by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts with 11 percent, Vice President Joseph Biden with 9 percent and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo with 4 percent. No other candidate tops 1 percent and 15 percent are undecided. The GOP primary shows U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky with 11 percent, New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 10 percent each, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin with 8 percent each, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio with 6 percent, no other candidate over 3 percent, with 20 percent undecided. "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton takes a ton of heat on wealth, book sales and her legacy at the State Department, but she emerges with no serious Democratic challenger, while the Republican field remains clustered and flustered," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. In the 2016 presidential race, American voters back Hillary Clinton over leading Republican contenders: 47 - 38 percent over Christie; 49 - 40 percent over Paul; 49 - 40 percent over Huckabee; 48 - 41 percent over former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; 48 - 41 percent over U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. In these races, Clinton's lead among women ranges from 16 percentage points to 19 points. The margin among men in each race is too close to call. By a slim 48 - 43 percent margin, American voters have a favorable opinion of Clinton, but that tops all other contenders who get negative or divided favorability scores or where more than 50 percent of voters don't know enough about them to form an opinion. 2014 Congressional Races In the 2014 Congressional races, 46 percent of American voters want Republicans to win control of the U.S. Senate while 44 percent want Democratic control of the Senate. The same too-close-to-call 46 - 44 percent margin applies to control of the House of Representatives. American voters disapprove 73 - 18 percent of the job Republicans in Congress are doing and have a negative 36 - 52 percent opinion of the Republican Party. Voters disapprove 63 - 29 percent of the job Democrats in Congress are doing, and give the Democratic party a negative 41 - 49 percent favorability rating. The Tea Party gets a negative 30 - 44 percent favorability rating, compared to a negative 27 - 47 percent score in a November 13 Quinnipiac University poll. "Americans are split on whether they want Republican or Democratic wins in the midterms, but on one thing they are in complete agreement - Congress as a whole is doing a lousy job," Malloy said. From June 24 - 30, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,446 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.6 percentage points. The survey includes 620 Republicans with a margin of error of +/- 3.9 percentage points and 610 Democrats with a margin of error of 4 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones. The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and the nation as a public service and for research.
