Here is the latest
Quinnipiac poll pitting our girl against Chris Christie in Iowa, where
Hillary is not going but which Christie may have confused for the fields of Mercer County given the time he is spending there.
July 22, 2013 - Obama Approval Plunges In Iowa, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Clinton, Christie Tied In 2016 Race
Iowa
voters disapprove 55 - 41 percent of the job President Barack Obama is
doing, plunging the president to one of his lowest scores ever in any of
the nine states surveyed by Quinnipiac University, according to a poll
released today.
These Iowa results compare to a 50 - 45 percent
disapproval in a May 24 poll by the independent Quinnipiac
(KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. Today, men disapprove 60 - 35 percent,
compared to a 54 - 41 percent disapproval in May. Among women, 46
percent approve and 49 percent disapprove, compared to May when 48
percent approved and 45 percent disapproved.
Disapproval is 90 - 6
percent among Republicans and 59 - 37 percent among independent voters,
while Democrats approve 82 - 13 percent.
In an early look at the
2016 presidential campaign, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
ties New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie 41 - 41 percent. Ms. Clinton
tops Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker 46 - 39 percent.
Vice President Joseph Biden trails Christie 49 - 32 percent and gets 39 percent to Walker's 42 percent.
"President
Barack Obama's problem in Iowa is with independent voters who
disapprove of the way he is doing his job by more than 20 points. Since
more Iowans consider themselves independents rather than members of one
of the two major parties, that is a significant problem for the
president," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac
University Polling Institute.
In the 2016 Clinton-Christie dead
heat, Clinton carries Democrats 82 - 8 percent while Christie takes
Republicans 80 - 8 percent and the two split independent voters 36 - 37
percent. She wins women 47 - 37 percent, he takes men 45 - 35 percent.
By
a 52 - 41 percent margin, Iowa voters have a favorable opinion of
Clinton. Christie gets a 42 - 16 percent favorability, with 40 percent
who don't know enough about him to form an opinion. Biden gets a
negative 38 - 47 percent favorability and 65 percent don't know enough
about Walker to form an opinion.<"Christie's favorability ratio of
almost 3-1 is impressive. The question is whether he can sustain it as
he becomes better known," said Brown. "If so, he could be a strong
contender in 2016.
"Quinnipiac University has tested Clinton
against a variety of Republicans in a number of states and Christie
seems to be running the best so far."
