If you think that either Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush are the GOP answer to Hillary Clinton in 2016, you might want to run that by Florida first. Also some bad news about Ashley Judd.

Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush for 2016? Yeah, that's cute.

Courtesy of Public Policy Polling:

Raleigh, N.C. – Hillary Clinton now leads Florida’s own Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio by double-digit margins in 2016 presidential match-ups as her popularity continues to climb in the state, according to PPP’s latest poll. Clinton leads Bush by 13 points (53/40), Paul Ryan by 13 points (54/41) and Rubio by 16 points (56/40). 

This is a significant gain from January, when Clinton led Bush by 5 points and Rubio by 4 points. Clinton now claims 20-24% of the Republican vote and 55-58% of the independent vote against each of her potential Republican opponents. Her favorability has jumped to +19 (56/37) from an 11-point spread (52/41) two months ago.

As you know Jeb Bush was a pretty popular governor of Florida, being the first Republican to win two terms, and Marco Rubio is one of their two current Senators, so if THEY cannot put a dent in the Clinton political lead that certainly does not bode well for the rest of the party.

And just think that is a gain of almost ten points in only two months. Imagine how much larger the split will be by 2016?

Look, I'm NOT saying that a Clinton victory in 2016 is a sure thing. I am just saying that if you look up the word "Juggernaut" there is a picture of her next to it to help illustrate it.

However, and I say this with a heavy heart, along with this good news is some truly upsetting news concerning 2014.

Regretfully, I am currently unable to consider a campaign for the Senate.I have spoken to so many Kentuckians over these last few months ~

Oh that is just depressing.

I wonder if Bill Clinton got to her?
