POLL: Clinton 44, Christie 34

Politico reports:

Hillary Clinton bests Chris Christie by 10 points in a hypothetical presidential match-up, a new poll shows. According to a poll released Tuesday by NBC News, the former secretary of state leads the New Jersey GOP governor 44-34 percent. Both Christie and Clinton are considered top possible 2016 contenders, and the survey followed Christie’s decisive reelection win in the Garden State last week. Thirty-two percent of GOP and GOP-leaning respondents called Christie their top choice for the Republican presidential nod; 31 percent named someone else. In contrast, Clinton was the first choice of 66 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning respondents for the Democratic nomination; 14 percent said they’d opt for another candidate.
