Those vying against Hillary Rodham Clinton for the presidency will face multiple obstacles, but a new poll from George Washington University shows that her fame could be one of the biggest.
The university’s latest battleground poll shows that Mrs. Clinton has the highest favorability rating of 11 prospective candidates, at 48 percent. Former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida is a distant second among Republicans, with 35 percent of the 1,000 voters surveyed viewing him favorably.
The figures show that those seeking the White House have failed to impress voters at this early stage of the election cycle and that name recognition for most remains low. Mrs. Clinton, a former first lady, senator and secretary of state, has a distinct edge in this department, with only 1 percent not having heard of her.
