While some likely contenders have been positioning themselves for a White House bid for months, others are still evaluating their chances and many could wait until early 2015 to make a decision.
Here are a few of the possible White House contenders in 2016:
THE DEMOCRATS
HILLARY CLINTON
The former secretary of state and first lady, who lost an acrimonious Democratic presidential nominating battle to Barack Obama in 2008, is the consensus frontrunner and holds a large lead in preliminary polls over all potential Democratic challengers. Clinton, 67, has not said whether she plans to run, but supporters have built a national campaign structure to await her candidacy, including a pair of high-profile super PACs. Since leaving the State Department in 2013, the wife of former president Bill Clinton has been giving a series of paid speeches and campaigning for Democrats.
