Hillary Clinton blowing out 2016 Democratic primary rivals in Florida

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton holds a commanding lead in Florida over her potential Democratic rival, a new poll shows.

Democratic-aligned Public Policy Polling (PPP) released a poll of Florida Democrats Tuesday which shows Clinton as the early favorite in the Sunshine State, blowing out the field with 58 percent support. Vice President Joe Biden takes a very distant second with 14 percent followed by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. with 10 percent. Warren has said she will not run if Clinton enters the contest.

The other candidates lag in low single digits. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., takes 3 percent, followed by former Gov. Martin O’Malley, D-Md., with 2 percent. Former U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., trails with 1 percent.
