Enough with Invincible Hillary

[RTX]

I think the biggest reason she is seen as invincible at this point is she has had the highest and longest name recognition of anybody else who is seen as a potential candidate. Regardless of one's political persuasions, this early on, someone who the general public has seen going from positions like first lady, to Senator, to candidate, to Secretary of State, is probably going to be the comfortable pick for someone being polled who isn't a political junkie.

I hadn't really heard much from Jeb Bush in between the 2000 election and more recently. I think hardly anybody outside of the Midwest or the habitual Fox, MSNBC or CNN viewer have heard of Scott Walker. The generic voter's exposure to the GOP candidates hasn't been more than a soundbite or two on the radio or an interview on late night TV at this point. That's true also for all the Democratic candidates, other than Clinton and Biden.

If these polls were showing this in June 2016, yes I think that she would be near-invinsible at that point. Now, I think it's more of a "who do I know and perceive is possibly somewhat like me" poll.
