克林頓預計正式宣佈競選總統
Hillary Clinton is expected Sunday to formally announce her intention to run for president in the 2016 election.
The former secretary of state will announce her campaign for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination with an online video posted on social media, sources familiar with her plans told media outlets. They said she will then make stops in key early voting states, including Iowa and New Hampshire.
It will be Clinton's second presidential bid after her failed effort in 2008, when Barack Obama won the party's nomination on his way to becoming president. Clinton is considered a huge favorite to win the Democrats' nomination this time.
A recent Gallup poll found 48 percent of those surveyed have a favorable impression of Clinton, her lowest rating since 2008. Forty-two percent of those polled had an unfavorable rating of her.
If elected, the former first lady would be the nation's first female president.
On the Republican side, Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have announced their intention to run for their party's nomination, and Senator Marco Rubio is widely expected to join them on Monday. Others expected to join what analysts say will be a crowded Republican field include former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.前美國國務卿希拉里.克林頓預計星期天正式宣佈她計劃在2016年選舉中競選總統。瞭解克林頓計劃的人士對媒體說，克林頓計劃通過社交媒體發佈視頻，宣佈競爭民主黨的總統候選人提名。消息人士說，克林頓隨後將前往包括愛荷華和新罕布什爾等最早舉行初選的州。
這將是克林頓2008年競爭民主黨提名失利後的再次競選努力。奧巴馬贏得了民主黨提名，並贏得大選，入主白宮。克林頓這次被非常看好將贏得民主黨的提名。
一項最近的蓋洛普民意調查顯示，受訪者中48%的人對克林頓印象良好。這是她2008年以來最低的支持率。42%的受訪者不看好克林頓。如果這次當選總統，克林頓將成爲美國第一位女性總統。
共和黨籍的兩位參議員，科魯茲和保羅已經宣佈將角逐共和黨的總統候選人提名。廣泛預計，盧比奧參議員星期一將宣佈參選。預計將有多名共和黨人加入競爭總統提名人的行列，包括前佛羅里達州長傑布.布什和威斯康辛州長沃克。
