Poll: Hillary Clinton ahead, Rand Paul leads GOP

Sen. Rand Paul narrowly leads a tight 2016 Republican presidential field, while Hillary Clinton remains comfortably ahead among Democrats, a new poll says.

According to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday, the Kentucky senator leads the way among national Republican voters with 11 percent of the vote in a potential 2016 GOP primary. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush all tied for second with 10 percent of the vote.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and 2012 vice presidential nominee Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan all pulled in 8 percent of the vote. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio received 6 percent.

Twenty percent of Republican voters remain undecided, underscoring a 2016 GOP presidential field with a lot of potential candidates but no clear favorite.
