Are Hillary Clinton's chances for success in 2016 improving? Though the former senator and secretary of state has not formally announced she plans to run for president in 2016, she is the preferred Democratic candidate. Recent polls show Clinton could also win the elections. At least, she has a good chance.

A recent Quinnipiac University poll shows that among the preferred candidates between the two parties, Hillary always wins among New Jersey voters. Though New Jersey is no bastion of conservatism, backing Democratic candidates in the last couple of elections, many did not choose their own governor, Republican Chris Christie.

Though he does better than his fellow Republicans, Christie still loses to Clinton. Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, thinks New Jersey voters would rather vote for New York's Clinton because the country is not ready for a "Jersey Guy."

Overall Christie would get 39 percent of the vote in the Garden State to Hillary's 50 percent. Registered Republicans would vote for Christie 81 percent to 10 percent for Clinton, but in all the other categories and age groups he loses to the former senator.

However, among the Republican candidates, he does the best.

Coming second is Jeb Bush, who loses to Clinton 31 percent to 53. Clinton wins among all categories, except Republicans by wide margins, particularly among the 18-34 age group.

However, another group also favors the Democratic candidate: millionaires. According to a CNBC poll from November, the majority of the 500 millionaires surveyed preferred Clinton to other candidates. Clinton won 31 percent, while Jeb Bush came in second with 18 percent. Chris Christie got 14 percent among the wealthiest 8 percent of America.

Clinton is also the top choice among self-identified independent millionaires, though with a lesser lead of 23 percent to Christie's 19 percent. Among Republican millionaires Jeb Bush was the top choice.

In a recent interview with CNN's Candy Crowley, former President George W. Bush backed his brother's bid for the presidency.

"Yeah, and I think he'd beat her." Bush said about his brother running against Clinton. The country will have to wait until 2016 to see who wins.
