When it comes to which candidates Americans view as having a realistic chance at being president, Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush fare the best. This is despite how the candidates may have their name working against them.
A poll released today from Bloomberg Politics reveals that 47 percent view Hillary as having a realistic chance, while 40 percent feel that way about Jeb.
Despite faring the best in the poll, the numbers mean that more Americans would not view them as having such a shot. Hillary has 52 percent who view her this way, while that number climbs to 57 percent for Jeb.
Although Ben Carson comes in third with 35 percent saying he could realistically be president, less people, at 56 percent, see him as having an issue than do Jeb. Carson scores among the highest with undecided views, at 9 percent.
When it comes to Donald Trump, only 29 percent of Americans see him having a realistic chance. Sixty-nine percent do not, the most out of any candidate. Bloomberg points out that:
Hillary has higher numbers because she has more support from her party, with 74 percent of Democrats saying “they have a realistic vision of Clinton as president.” For Jeb, 53 percent of Republicans can see him as president.
