It is news that someone with a 100% name recognition cant break 50%. She is polling well under Obama's 2012 result.

Bush looks like a sure loser however.

I think the GOPe will dump Bush for Rubio

[Likely Voter]

Bush's shot is based entirely on proving that he is not his brother, but he kind of blew that over his Iraq screwups. It is not fatal but if not electability, what is his case to the GOP?

I don't think even incumbents who go on to win are over 50% in head-to-head polling 18 months before the election!  Some voters like to reserve the right to make up their mind at the last minute, but there is no evidence they break for or against incumbents on average.  Hence, the margins are what matter.  The last time someone polled over 50% more than a year before the election was probably G.H.W. Bush in early 1991, and we all know what happened there.

Obama was at 46-48% against Romney in summer 2011. Ask President Romney how that worked out.

How did Rubio go from being one of the less electable candidates to one of the more electable?

Rubio was always a rather tall man in a land of midgets. That being said, he's still pretty short - he has a lot of baggage that will make him very unelectable.

Obama did get historically rapid economic improvement from fall 2011 onward that wasn't easy to foresee.  He probably truly would have lost in Nov 2011.  His only hope would be the electoral college.

atp I think if Rubio is the nominee he wins, Clinton is an incredibly flawed candidate and her scandals will follow her to ED. I think she will depress turnout among the base of she is the nominee, I'm praying for a late entry from a better candidate.

I don't get this pessimistic sentiment from some Dems.  If I were a Dem I would be giddily optimistic about Hillary.  She gets a lot of scandal press yet her supporters don't care and would vote for her regardless.  She has a very, very high floor of support.

I think all the ridiculous fake scandals have only hardened most Democrats'(outside of the criminally insane True Leftists on this forum) support of Clinton. It's really easy to look at recent press coverage and decide that the media is intent on blowing up every little thing about the Clintons in order to tear down Hillary Clinton and boost up Republicans with little chance at the nomination, like Rubio or Kasich. If I had a dime for every contentless fluff piece on on Marco Rubio that ignores his flip-flop on immigration and his substantial financial problems, I'd be a very rich man.

Most people with "concerns" about her electability are just bitter that Hillary is going to steamroll whoever their preferred candidate in the primary is.

Lol

You actually think the Cuban water boy who's drawn the wrath of the teabaggers for his embrace of amnesty actually stands a chance at defeating the first female presidential candidate? How's life inside the DailyKos bubble these days?
