Ummm since when is 16 less than 15 CNN?

Further confirmation that Christie is now just a generic Republican like the rest of them.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The Democratic nominee whoever it is should be advantaged.

Unreal.

Wow, Hillary is such a horrible, scandal plagued candidate. Thankfully we have Brian Schweitzer waiting in the wings, to save us from an impending 15-20 point landslide.

[Mr. Illini]

Things are certainly not looking up for the GOP.

[Tender Branson]

CNN shows Clinton up 15-20 against the Republicans.

A few days earlier, PPP showed Clinton ahead by 3 points.

How are such big differences even possible (notice that both were polling registered voters) ?

See now all the moderate independents are going to Clinton after Christie's scandal.

PPP was an outlier.

[Mr. Morden]

Looking at the crosstabs:

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2014/images/02/04/rel3a.pdf

you can see that, again, even in his weakened state, Christie still has more crossover support than the other Republicans.  He gets 10% of Democrats to back him in the GE matchup with Clinton, higher than any of the other Republican candidates can manage.  And his deficit with Clinton among Independents is "only" 13 points, which is a narrower loss than the other GOP candidates.  It's just that he suffers more defections to Clinton among Republicans than the other candidates do, so his overall numbers aren't great.

One other notable thing on this is that Christie is notably stronger in the Northeast, compared to the other GOP candidates:

Bush vs. Clinton:
Northeast: Clinton +34
Midwest: Clinton +14
South: Clinton +12
West: Clinton +24

Christie vs. Clinton:
Northeast: Clinton +13
Midwest: Clinton +28
South: Clinton +4
West: Clinton +22

Ryan vs. Clinton:
Northeast: Clinton +29
Midwest: Clinton +20
South: Clinton +7
West: Clinton +12

I expect PPP will try desperately to show that Hillary would be a terrible candidate since they are all probably hoping for a Schweitzer/Warren/O'Malley nominee to prevail.

CNN is just retarded.
