The poll posed four hypothetical 2016 match-ups with Hillary Clinton as the Democratic
nominee running against Republicans Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz.

Christie comes closest in national preference, trailing Clinton by just 4 points, 43% to 39%.
Bush is behind Clinton by 10 points, 47% to 37%, and Rubio trails by 11 points, 47% to 36%.
Cruz is behind Clinton by 16 points, 48% to 32%. Cruz is also the least well-known of the
potential GOP field and may in fact be ineligible to run due to his birth in Canada.

Cruz down 16 when nobody knows who he is says a lot.  The unknown "Generic Republican" which beat Obama in all the polls, which the GOP couldn't find in 2012, is now down by double digits.

The Democrats would really have to nominate a jackass for them to lose this one.

43-39 over Christie is 51-49 for Christie. In Presidential Elections, two-thirds of the undecided vote goes against the incumbent president or the incumbent president's party unless the incumbent president's approval rating is above 50% and the incumbent president happens to be running for re-election. Other than him, her numbers look good. HOWEVER, her numbers looked good in 2007 and early 2008 too. So Tongue

"and the candidate is Hillary Clinton" will be the 2024 qualifier.

Unknown candidates tend to poll poorly, well behind "Generic Republican" or "Generic Democrat" in most cases.  I really wouldn't read much into this.

Clinton 43%
Christie 39%

Clinton 47%
Rubio 36%

Clinton 47%
Bush 37%

Clinton 48%
Cruz 32%

favorability/unfavorability among all voters:
Christie 49/20% for +29%
Clinton 52/38% for +14%
Ryan 41/33% for +8%
Rubio 33/26% for +7%
Paul 34/28% for +6%
Bush 39/38% for +1%
Cruz 22/24% for -2%
Cuomo 24/29% for -5%
Walker 14/21% for -7%
Santorum 24/34% for -10%
Biden 35/51% for -16%
Palin 26/61% for -35%


favorability/unfavorability among their own party:
Clinton 85/10% for +75%
Biden 60/26% for +34%
Cuomo 31/22% for +9%

Ryan 76/6% for +70%
Bush 76/14% for +62%
Rubio 64/4% for +60%
Paul 51/12% for +39%
Christie 54/18% for +36%
Cruz 40/12% for +28%
Palin 56/29% for +27%
Santorum 46/20% for +26%
Walker 30/9% for +21%

As in most polls, Christie's favorability is extremely broad-based.  He's +36% among Republicans, but also +34% among Independents, and +13% among Democrats.

Clinton is also popular, but she relies on her huge numbers among Democrats (+75%) to offset her poor numbers among Republicans (-65%).

A few days before the 2012 election, Dick Morris said that polls showing Obama with a 4-point lead actually mean a 5-point Romney lead because two-thirds of the undecided vote goes against the incumbent's party PLUS Democrats are over-sampled in the specific poll by 4 points PLUS the Bradley effect shaves off one or two points for Obama. He used this same algorithm in specific swing states to arrive at a 325-213 Romney victory, in which he won every swing state minus Nevada, and won the non-swing states of Michigan and Minnesota.

Luckily, he was right, and we are now enjoying the first year of the Romney administration, and because, by the same accurate logic of Morris, 43-39 for Clinton actually means 51-49 for Christie, in four years we will be enjoying the first year of the Christie administration! Making correct analyses based on previous correct analyses is fun!

It's embarrassing how many people don't know who the Vice-President is.

About a poll 3 years in advance? I think we both know better than to assume the election is decided by a poll 3 years in advance. As for Dick Morris, he would've been correct prior to the 2012 election. There are more Democrats now due to a rise in the Hispanic/Latino community. It's been very surprising. Dick Morris was using the 2004 demographics which haven't really come to be since with the exception of the 2010 midterm elections. Had the demographics last year been the same as 2004, then Morris would've been correct. Please tell me you're not making a prediction for 2016 based on a poll in 2013?

I'm not making a prediction for 2016 based on a 2013 poll. That's exactly what you are doing..."43-39 for Clinton actually means 51-49 for Christie." I just explained why that was a very inaccurate analysis.

There's really no proof for this claim whatsoever.
