IA-DMR: Hillary, Ryan approval stratospheric

[RogueBeaver]

Hillary's at 89-7 favourable among Dems, Ryan 73-10 among Pubs. Biden 71-18. Christie 51-30, but Hillary's very polarizing.

Biden yeah!

Do Republicans actually like Perry again, UGH.

[Mr. Morden]

Fav/unfav among Democrats:

Clinton 89/7% for +82%
Biden 71/18% for +53%
O'Malley 18/13% for +5%
Schweitzer 16/14% for +2%

Fav/unfav among Republicans:

Ryan 73/10% for +63%
Huckabee 66/17% for +49%
Santorum 58/21% for +37%
Perry 55/19% for +36%
Walker 46/11% for +35%
Rubio 46/15% for +31%
Cruz 46/17% for +29%
Paul 51/23% for +28%
Bush 51/26% for +25%
Christie 51/30% for +21%

Walker has the lowest name recognition among the Republicans, with 43% not having an opinion of him, suggesting that he still has some "room for growth".  But the second lowest name recognition is actually Rubio.  I've been noticing this in some of the other polls recently.  Rubio's name recognition has actually regressed a bit in the past year, as more of the focus has shifted to other potential candidates.  Which I actually think is good for him, as it means that he has the opportunity for a second chance, with all the voters who've forgotten who he is.

Christie's favorability numbers are terrible.

[Maxwell]

Christie's favorability numbers are terrible.

Iowa is also literally the worst place for Christie, and the only way he could even possibly win Iowa is with an incredibly divided field. His max in the state is 20% AT BEST.

Christie's favorability numbers are terrible.

Nationally Christie's favorability numbers are the lowest of any GOP candidate in the primary. When the ads start dropping with Christie hugging and embracing Obama I just don't see him getting anywhere near the nomination.
