Three days into his campaign — Rand Paul beating Hillary Clinton in key states — Close behind in others

Big blow to Hillary’s “Inevitability Narrative”  —   Pollster says trend goes back to FEBRUARY

"Ominous for Hillary Clinton is the broad scope of the movement today compared to her showing in Quinnipiac University's mid-February survey. It isn't just one or two Republicans who are stepping up; it's virtually the entire GOP field that is running better against her....”                                               —  Quinnipiac Polling 

Hillary’s E-mails flaps and flops, and President Obama’s overall job performance making Hillary’s way forward much tougher that she and HER PEOPLE would have thought

A new poll has found that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's has a small lead against potential Republican presidential candidates, but it is shrinking in key swing states just days after Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul declared his candidacy for the 2016 race.  

RAND PAUL ALREADY BEATING CLINTON IN SOME KEY STATES

According to a Quinnipiac University Poll, conducted March 29-April 7 of roughly 900 voters in each state, in Colorado and Iowa Paul has a small lead. Specifically, the poll found that:
In Colorado, Paul would get 44 percent compared to 41 percent for Clinton.
In Iowa, Paul would win 43 percent compared to 42 percent for Clinton.
In Virginia, Clinton has a lead of 47 percent support compared to 43 percent for Paul.

As his formal statement of the obvious, Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll said,  "These numbers are a boost for U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky as he formally launches his campaign...."

OMINOUS FOR HILLARY'S PROSPECTS GOING FORWARD

The Quinippiac release goes on to state that “... [f]ormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's lead is wilting against leading Republican presidential candidates in three critical swing states, Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, and she finds herself in a close race with U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky in each state, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today. In head-to-head matchups, every Republican candidate effectively ties her in Colorado and almost all Republicans effectively tie her in Iowa. ***  Secretary Clinton has lost ground in almost every matchup in Colorado and Iowa since a February 18 Swing State Poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. The Swing State Poll focuses on key states in the presidential election.... [With a slight blip for Hillary in Virginia, v]oters in each state say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy. Her overall favorability has dropped significantly in Colorado and Iowa, while Virginia is unchanged....”
