A new CNN/ORC poll released on Monday reveals that Hillary Clinton has a strong lead over both Republican candidates and potential Democratic contenders in the 2016 presidential race, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tops the pack of Republican candidates.

According to the poll, which was conducted from April 16 to April 19, Bush is the leading Republican contender with 17 percent. Coming in second place is Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 12 percent followed by U.S. Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida, who both received 11 percent of the vote.

It also shows Rubio and Walker have a consistent upward trend among voters in their party. Plus, Bush, Ted Cruz and Rubio all saw an increase in their ratings since last month.

On the other hand, the big loser is Dr. Ben Carson. He is being trailed closely by Chris Christie, who was once the Republicans' second choice for president. However, the New Jersey governor has fallen to seventh place with just 4 percent of support.

Furthermore, the poll reveals that Clinton would beat all of the Republican hopefuls in the election with 55 percent of the vote if it was held today. The former Secretary of State would crush Christie, with 58 percent to 39 percent. She would also beat Bush, with 56 percent to 39 percent.

The former Secretary of State announced last Sunday that she has officially entered the 2016 presidential race. A day later, San Antonio attorney Jose H. Villarreal was appointed as treasurer for the prospective Democratic nominee's "Hillary for America" campaign. The Mexican-American lawyer served as deputy campaign manager for Bill Clinton during his first run for the White House in 1992 and as a senior adviser to Hillary when she ran against then-Senator Barack Obama in 2008.
