Quinnipiac is out with a new poll that shows Hillary Clinton as the top contender for 2016, and Chris Christie as the most popular Republican:
Former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State Clinton wins easily against any of the Republicans, topping Christie 45 – 37 percent; leading Rubio 50 – 34 percent and besting Ryan 50 – 38 percent.
…
Christie gets 43 percent to Vice President Biden’s 40 percent and tops Cuomo 45 – 28 percent.
Of course, as the 2008 cycle showed, it’s far too early to know whether these numbers will hold in a few years.
