Title: Christie trails Clinton by 13 points in new NBC/Marist poll Post by: henster on January 15, 2014, 04:38:56 PM http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/15/22316680-poll-christie-cruising-through-bridge-scandal-so-far?lite
Quote Christie trails Clinton in a national match up Despite those numbers, Christie has lost ground to Hillary Clinton in an early hypothetical presidential match up. In this current poll, he trails Clinton by 13 points, 50 percent to 37 percent among nationwide voters. But in the same poll a month ago, Clinton’s lead was a mere three points, 48 percent to 45 percent. Chuck Todd talks to Tom Brokaw about how Christie's bridge scandal dominated his State of the State address headlines and what this could mean for his political future. “Up against a likely Hillary candidacy, the argument that Christie is positioned to win back the White House [for Republicans] is far from automatic,” Miringoff says. What’s also problematic for Christie is that his favorability rating is upside down – with 28 percent viewing him positively and 30 percent viewing him negatively. By comparison, Clinton’s fav/unfav rating is a net positive (50 percent positive, 38 percent negative), while President Barack Obama’s is a net negative (41 percent to 48 percent).

Almost every poll has the under 30s as her best group, at least in matchups against Republican candidates. It's just that when you get to the subsamples older than 30, she has a flatter age gap than Obama had in 2008 and 2012…..with many polls (though not this one) showing her doing better among the over 65s than the 30-45s.

Clinton seems to be doing ok with the kids but seems to have problems with middle aged people who are probably doing the best they ever will while Obama had a problem with retired people. Maybe its a rich person thing?

It's for an entity with the word "Conservative" in its name. Enough said. Title: Re: Christie trails Clinton by 13 points in new NBC/Marist poll Post by: Likely Voter on January 16, 2014, 02:42:25 AM If this trend continues his big money backers are going to dry up. Let's face it, his supposed cross-over appeal and electability vs. Hillary was his primary strength. Without that he really has nothing. He is just another NE RINO.

Title: Re: Christie trails Clinton by 13 points in new NBC/Marist poll Post by: DrScholl on January 16, 2014, 03:03:18 AM Christie's high point is over, and any boost he got from his re-election is deflated. Sure, early polling doesn't mean much, but Christie's main plus was the electability argument and if he doesn't have that, he has nothing to lock down a lot establishment support. Save for his nominal bipartisan credentials and nominally moderate profile, Christie isn't much different than the rest of the Republican field.
Title: Re: Christie trails Clinton by 13 points in new NBC/Marist poll Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on January 16, 2014, 06:53:06 AM I think if the election were held today, it would look like 2012 but maybe NC instead of Va and Florida goes to Clinton.
Title: Re: Christie trails Clinton by 13 points in new NBC/Marist poll Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on January 16, 2014, 12:11:57 PM I think if the election were held today, it would look like 2012 but maybe NC instead of Va and Florida goes to Clinton. Why would Clinton carry North Carolina but lose Virginia and Florida? Title: Re: Christie trails Clinton by 13 points in new NBC/Marist poll Post by: RJEvans on January 17, 2014, 04:08:56 PM Clinton won't win men and she won't win whites. Each of which have gotten more conservative over the last 8 years.
Second, Clinton won't have a +12 favorable rating on election day. Definitely an outlier. I think a Clinton-Christie race is within 5 points today. Title: Re: Christie trails Clinton by 13 points in new NBC/Marist poll Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on January 18, 2014, 08:44:44 AM This poll puts to rest the doubters that Ohio isn't really in play with with Portman up for reelection or running on the natl ticket. The 272 firewall with or without Ohio is very much in tack.
