Long ago, before the God of Narratives decided that Hillary Clinton was an out-of-touch elitist, she was seen as a fearsome 2016 contender. As the theory went, she could outpoll Barack Obama with white voters while winning nonwhite voters. The new CNN poll suggests that this is still mostly true. In a fun, cheeky trial heat, CNN's pollster asked voters whom they'd support in a 2012 election do-over: Mitt Romney or Barack Obama? Romney won in a rout, the poor guy.
Next, the pollster asked voters to take sides in a hypothetical and inhumanely boring Clinton vs. Romney race. Clinton won easy, 5542. It doesn't take true genius to figure out where those new Democratic votes came from.
Special bonus reason for Democratic gloating: In the theoretical Romney race, Clinton wins 62 percent of voters who make less than $50,000. Yes, even after the scandal of her speaking fees.

(5,066 posts)She could win more than 44 percent of white vote.That seems like the ceiling for a Democrat among white voters
The GOP and their friends In MSM will call her an ultraLiberal who will destroy the country.And will try to bring up Bengrzi as much as
possable.
Like Obama some will accept BS lies about her even if they should know better
Her best chance may be a Obama 2008 or Obama 2012 level of victory.
And I remain skeptical if given a chance romney would now win over Obama.
