Poll: Hillary Clinton Would Trounce Chris Christie in Swing States
Source: Philadelphia Magazine
On Wednesday morning, Quinnipiac University released its latest poll, this one pitting Hillary Clinton against leading Republican White House contenders in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, three of the pivotal swing states in the general election. And Clinton crushes New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in all three of those states.
In Colorado, Clinton wins it 43-34. In Iowa, 44-34. And in Virginia, its a bit closer, with Clinton on top 44-39.
"In this early look at possible 2016 presidential matchups, New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie is the poorest performing Republican," says Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "[He's] trailing Clinton by margins of 5 to 10 percentage points, while each of the other Republicans is in the running in at least one state."

Polling at this point means nothing. Nothing.

(1,668 posts)The story of this poll is how close GOP contenders are to Hillary Clinton in swing states.
The headline emphasizes Christie's horrible performance in those polls because it is from a local Philadelphia news source and Christie is considered a local politician in Philadelphia (South Jersey is part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area.)
The Headline might as well say "Clinton crushes weak republican candidate who probably won't even run because he has no chance."
An accurate reading of the poll would be , "Bush and Paul surprisingly close to Hillary Clinton in swing states."
