Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul received 32 percent favorability. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie received 36 percent, Mitt Romney received 43 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz received 26 percent and Vice President Joe Biden received 45 percent.

The poll also found 77 percent of those asked thought Clinton's four years as Secretary of State made her more favorable, while her "close ties to Wall Street" only received 52 percent favor.

A similar poll released by Quinnipiac University on Nov. 26 found Romney and Clinton were essentially tied among voters.

None of the possible candidates have announced a presidential campaign.
