The 2016 Democratic presidential nomination is Hillary Clinton’s if she wants it, according to a poll released today in which Vice President Joe Biden is the party’s frontrunner if she doesn’t.
The Quinnipiac University survey showed 65 percent of Democratic voters backing Clinton as their party’s nominee, with Biden second at 13 percent. Other frequently mentioned prospects had support in the low single digits in the April 25-29 poll: 4 percent for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and 1 percent or less for Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Virginia Senator Mark Warner.
