Sorry, Chris Christie: New Jersey governor performs worse than any other GOPer in swing state poll

Chris Christie was supposed to be Democrats’ worst nightmare. Following his landslide re-election victory in 2013, analysts pointed to the New Jersey governor’s strong performance among key Democratic constituencies like African Americans, Latinos, and moderate voters as evidence that he was the most electable of the Republican Party’s prospective 2016 candidates.

One bridge scandal, a pension firestorm, and numerous legal battles later, Christie no longer looks so formidable. But not only does he offer the GOP no unique advantage against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton; a new poll of three battleground states finds that he’s the worst-performing Republican candidate against the former secretary of state.

Surveying voters in Iowa, Colorado, and Virginia, Quinnipiac University found Christie trailing Clinton by margins of between five and 10 percentage points. He comes closest in Virginia, where Clinton leads him 44 percent to 39 percent. In Colorado, Christie musters just 34 percent support against Clinton’s 43 percent, while in Iowa, he lags behind Clinton by 10 points, 44 percent to 34 percent.
