Clinton Most Popular With Democrats (And General Public)

The YouGov Poll has done a new national presidential survey (between May23rd and 25th of a random sample of 1,000 adults, with about a 4 point margin of error). They asked about whether the public (and party members) viewed each candidate favorably, and then they asked who the public and (party members) thought should be the nominee of each party.

Hillary Clinton topped the list of candidates as being viewed most favorably (47%) by the general public, with Joe Biden finishing second (41%). No Republican topped 37%, and the other major Democrat (Bernie Sanders) was viewed favorably by 28% of the general public -- putting him in eleventh place among both parties.

Clinton also topped other candidates among Democrats (82%) and Liberals (81%). Biden scored 70% favorability with Democrats and 80% with liberals. Sanders finished with 46% among Democrats and 58% among liberals. The top six favorability numbers among Republicans for their candidates were Rubio (63%), Paul (60%), Huckabee (58%), Bush (53%), Cruz (52%), and Walker (50%). All other GOP candidates finished with less than 50% favorability.

The charts below show the results of who the people think should be their party's presidential candidate. Once again, Clinton left everyone else in the dust -- getting 32% from the general public, 59% from Democrats, and 48% from liberals. Sanders was second among Democrats -- finishing with 14% of the public, 17% of Democrats, and 28% of liberals. Biden got 10% from the public, 8% from Democrats, and 5% from liberals.

No Republican got over 9% from the general public, or 16% from their own party. It's still a fact that there is no favorite among Republicans, and we are still waiting for someone to break out of the pack.
