Clinton is No. 1 here because she's proved formidable in both polling and fundraising — and she still looks to be able to glide to the Democratic nomination.
Clinton averages 54% of the Democratic vote when combining national, Iowa, and New Hampshire polls. Though these are all different races with different electorates, her strength in all three shows her overall dominance in the primary.
She's ahead by an average of about 45 points in national polling, according to Real Clear Politics. And she's up by about 34 points and 16 points, respectively, in Iowa and New Hampshire. And polls also show her consistently on top of Republican opponents in theoretical general-election matchups.
On top of that, Clinton recently announced a record first-quarter campaign haul. Combined with allied outside groups, Clinton has nearly $70 million supporting her presidential bid.
National polling average among Democratic voters: 62.8% (1st)
Iowa: 55.2% (1st)
New Hampshire: 46% (1st)
STOCK: Neutral
