A new Quinnipiac poll found that Chris Christie (R-N.J.)may have difficulty winning his home state if he runs for president in 2016. Nearly three in five registered New Jersey voters don't think Christie would make a good president.
Fifty-seven percent of voters polled didn't think Christie would make a good president, and that's including almost a third of registered Republicans. Seventy-eight percent of Democrats and 59 percent of independents, meanwhile, were of the same opinion.
When asked who they would vote for in a hypothetical presidential race between Christie and Hillary Clinton, 52 percent of respondents, including 11 percent of registered Republicans, said they would vote for Clinton.
