So according to this poll, Mitt Romney is not only giving other Republican candidates a run for their money, he’s also causing some headaches for Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic nominee.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters, if the Republican primary were being held today, he would receive 19 percent of the vote. The only other potential candidate who would finish with double-digit support is former Florida Governor Jeb Bush at 11 percent.
It shouldn’t be too difficult to guess who his Democratic opponent would be. Yeah, it would be Hillary Clinton. According to the poll, she’d receive 57 percent of the vote. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is the only other potential candidate to receive double-digit support with 13 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners saying they’d opt for her.
As of now, Romney would give the GOP its best chance of defeating Clinton. According to the poll, he’d defeat her by one percentage point.
Clinton is ahead of every other Republican she was polled against.
