Hillary Clinton tops every Republican challenger tested against her by double-digits in a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Thursday.

In the survey, Clinton leads Mitt Romney by 15 percentage points, and tops Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and Sen. Rand Paul (K.Y.) by 13 percentage points each. Of course, those margins will close once potential candidates actually get in the race, but the huge early leads for Clinton underscores her perceived strength heading into 2016.
