POWER RANKINGS: Here's who has the best chance at being our next president

With less than 100 days to go before the first actual votes of the 2016 presidential race are cast, the summer of the "outsider" has quickly become the autumn of the "outsider."

In the Republican field, real-estate tycoon Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson continue to dominate. They consistently account for more than 50% of the GOP vote in national and early-state polls.

And among the Democratic roster, self-described democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has become the clear alternative to the party's front-runner, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

With the help of a strong month, Clinton has solidified her grip on that front-runner status. Vice President Joe Biden declined to enter the race, while two other challengers - former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee (D) and former US Sen. Jim Webb (D-Virginia) - dropped out.

So with just more than a year remaining until Election Day 2016, here's another look at who has the best chance of making it to the White House to succeed President Barack Obama.

Our rankings are based on the Real Clear Politics averages of national polls and those in the first-voting states of New Hampshire, Iowa, and South Carolina. We also factor in candidates' fundraising prowess and their momentum (or lack thereof) over the past few weeks, especially after the second Republican presidential debate last month and the first Democratic debate earlier this month.

Here's a look at where all the candidates stand.
