Hillary Clinton hasn't announced that she's running for president, but if she does, more than 1,000 Iowa voters that participated in the 2016 Presidential Swing State Poll from Quinnipiac University say they would pick her over potential Republican candidates Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker.

The poll surveyed more than 3,000 voters in Iowa, Colorado, and Virginia. Rand Paul is a virtual tie with her in Colorado and Virginia. Governor Scott Walker is a virtual tie with her in Colorado, and Jeb Bush ties her in Virginia.

Bush, speaking in Chicago Wednesday, February 18, 2015, addressed that his views will often be compared to his brother's and dad's, both former presidents. Because of those family ties, 35% of Iowa voters in the poll say they are less likely to vote for him compared to the 18% who said they were less likely to vote for Clinton because of her husband.

The poll also addressed the possibility that Clinton would be the first woman president. 77% of Iowa voters in the poll say that makes no difference.
