Trump up, Hillary down?

With Hillary Clinton facing increasing investigative scrutiny, are some big name Democrats poised to enter the race for the 2016 presidential nomination? Joe Biden? Al Gore?

President Obama's plan to exempt up to five million illegal immigrants from deportation remains tied up in court, but most voters still don’t think the United States is aggressive enough in deporting those who are here illegally.
