NJ.com – by Jenna PortnoyTRENTON — In the swing state of Virginia, Gov. Chris Christie is the Republican with the best chance of beating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a presidential faceoff, a new poll shows, though her lead us shrinking.
According to a Quinnipiac University Poll released last week, Clinton would best Christie, 45 percent to 41 percent, topping other possible contenders.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush would lose to Clinton (47 percent to 39 percent), followed by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky (48 percent to 42 percent), and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (49 percent to 41 percent.)
“Secretary Hillary Clinton’s lead over New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie, top-seeded among Republicans, is only four points, smaller than in other recent Quinnipiac University surveys,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the poll. “Whether that means the ‘Bridgegate’ impact on Gov. Christie is fading in the rear-view mirror, only time will tell.”
The survey was conducted March 19 to 24 — before the release of an internal review from a law firm hired by Christie’s office that absolved the governor of blame in the controversial closing of lanes to the George Washington Bridge last fall.
Virginia voters also give Clinton a 52 percent to 44 percent favorability rating, compared to a flat rating for Christie of 38 percent to 38 percent. They like Huckabee better (39 percent to 35 percent), but Bush and Paul are nearly flat as well.
Quinnipiac surveyed 1,288 Virginia voters; the poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
She looks like a haggard old witch, and he looks like a pig sow, snout and all.

Wrong answer.
Voting is an absolute fraud. Voting for anyone only serves to further validate the false left-right paradigm illusion.
