Clinton Beats Christie For President In New Jersey Voter Poll!
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is trailing Hillary Clinton among New Jersey Voters in a poll regarding the 2016 presidential race.
The Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows Clinton leading the Republican governor by a margin of 50% to 42%. Both are expected to run in 2016 but haven’t committed yet.
According to the poll: “Secretary Clinton has double-digit leads over other possible Republican contenders, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack).” University poll finds:
- 54 – 34 percent over former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush;
- 55 – 35 percent over U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky;
- 57 – 34 percent over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
“As Gov. Christopher Christie traipses around the nation, his presidential potential seems alive, but former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the adopted girl next door, easily beats him in his home state,” said Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
The Quinnipiac poll also shows that “there is a large gender gap in the Clinton-Christie matchup as women back the Democrat 54 – 38 percent, while men are divided with 47 percent for Christie and 44 percent for Clinton.”
The telephone survey was conducted between July 31 and August 4 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
