Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., 4 percent who say former Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., and 2 percent who select former Maryland Gov. Martin O\u2019Malley.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">What\u2019s more, 92 percent of Democratic voters say they could see themselves supporting her for the Democratic nomination, which is up six points since March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Just 8 percent can\u2019t see themselves backing her in the current poll, which was conducted right after Clinton formally kicked off her presidential campaign with a rally in New York City. (By contrast, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ne.cision.com\/l\/vpcfucbr\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/jeb-bushs-standing-improves-among-republicans-n379126\">score among Republicans<\/a> is 75-22 percent and Sen.

Scott Walker by 14 (51 percent to 37 percent).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">But the NBC\/WSJ poll offers two cautionary notes about Clinton\u2019s leads. One, 62 percent of Democratic primary voters want her to have a challenging primary to test her for the general election, signaling they don\u2019t want a coronation to the nomination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">And two, the poll shows a generic Democrat defeating a generic Republican in the 2016 presidential race by just three points, 39 percent to 36 percent, suggesting that the general election will be competitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">\u201cLike the [Max] Scherzer <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ne.cision.com\/l\/vpcfucbr\/espn.go.com\/mlb\/story\/_\/id\/13124994\/max-scherzer-washington-nationals-says-no-hitter-dad-father-day-gift\">no-hitter<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ne.cision.com\/l\/vpcfucbr\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/golf\/2015\/06\/21\/jordan-spieth-dustin-johnson-louis-oosthuizen-us-open\/29086163\/\">the U.S. Open<\/a>, the outcome won\u2019t be known until the final pitch or the final putt,\u201d Hart says.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Obama\u2019s job-approval rating: 48 percent<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Also in the poll, President Obama\u2019s job-approval rating stands at 48 percent among all adults, which is unchanged from April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">But that comes amid renewed pessimism about the state of the U.S. economy.
