IS HILLARY LOSING? – AT 10:18 A.M. ET:  We caution that this is a Republican poll, but it still brings smiles.   From The Hill:

Hillary Clinton trails a generic Republican presidential candidate by double-digits among voters in six key battleground states, according to a new poll from the GOP firm Vox Populi.

The survey, conducted on behalf of the conservative super-PAC American Crossroads, found an unnamed GOP candidate taking 51 percent support among voters in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia.

Clinton takes only 41 percent support among voters in those states, according to the poll.
The survey found Clinton’s favorability rating deep underwater, with 40 percent having a positive view of the former secretary of State against 53 percent who said they view her negatively.

In addition, 52 percent of voters in the battleground states said they don’t trust Clinton, and the same percentage said they don’t share her values.

Fifty-eight percent said they agree with the notion that Clinton will “say or do anything” to get elected president, while only 35 percent said they disagree.

"This poll shows that the Clinton campaign’s 'Hide Hillary' strategy isn’t working and may in fact be backfiring,” American Crossroads president and CEO Steven Law said in a statement.

COMMENT:  I won't accept those numbers until I see them duplicated by someone else.  But I am getting the feeling, although it's very early, that the 2016 presidential election is the Republican candidate's to lose.  If the party nominates the right person, it can put that person in the White House, which would mean that the GOP would have the presidency, the House, the Senate, most governorships, and most state legislatures.  The Democrats would have discount trips to meet Raul Castro.
