March 18, 2015 - Recent revelations that  Hillary Clinton used her own personal email account while she was Secretary of State seem so far to have little  effect on her standing in the latest 2016 presidential poll

Clinton leads all potential Democratic presidential primary challengers by a large margin. Her closest competitor is Vice  President Joe Biden who receives 15% compared to 62% for Clinton. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts often mentioned as possible presidential candidate received 10% compared with 67% for Clinton. Other possible challengers including former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont received less than 5%.

In potential November 2016 general election match up ups Clinton leads all potential Republican challengers.

When pitted against former Florida Governor Jeb Bush , Clinton receives 55% compared with 40% for Bush.

Clinton's closest competitor at this point in time is Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky who receives 43% compared with 54% for Clinton. Other potential GOP challengers fare as followed, Clinton 55% vs Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker 40%, Clinton 55% vs former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee 41%, Clinton 56% vs Dr. Ben Carson 40%.

As far as the Republican presidential nomination race the potential candidates are all in tight pack with none earning above the support of 20% national wide. Bush leads with 16% followed by Walker with 13%, Paul at 13% , Huckabee at 12% and Carson at 9%.

Now clearly out of the top tier of candidates New Jersey Governor Chris Christie finds himself tied for 7% of support with Senator Marco Rubio of Florida. Other potential Republican White House hopefuls include former Texas Governor Rick Perry at 4% and former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania with 1%.

In other presidential news, Hillary Clinton is busy hiring staff in the key early states of the presidential nominating process of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. While Clinton continues to stay publicly that she has not decided yet to run for president in 2016, it is expected that she will formally launch her presidential campaign in April. Clinton's presidential headquarters should she run is expected to be located in Brooklyn, New York.
