Feng Li/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Hillary Clinton continues to top the list of possible 2016 presidential nominees among Democratic voters, a new poll finds.

The latest survey from Quinnipiac University shows that the former secretary of State leads the field with 56 percent of Democratic or Democratic leaning voters nationwide.

In second place is Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts with 14 percent, followed by Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, with 10 percent and 4 percent, respectively. Another 14 percent are undecided.

Taking Clinton out of the race, Biden trumps Warren to take the top spot with 35 percent to Warren’s 25 percent. Sanders comes in third with 7 percent, while 25 percent of voters remain undecided.

It is worth noting that this poll was completed on March 2, just before The New York Times first broke the news that Clinton exclusively used a personal e-mail account during her time at the State Department. Still, the survey shows a commanding lead.
