On Wednesday morning, Quinnipiac University released its latest poll, this one pitting Hillary Clinton against leading Republican White House contenders in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, three of the pivotal “swing states” in the general election. And Clinton crushes New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in all three of those states.

In Colorado, Clinton wins it 43-34. In Iowa, 44-34. And in Virginia, it’s a bit closer, with Clinton on top 44-39.

"In this early look at possible 2016 presidential matchups, New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie is the poorest performing Republican," says Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "[He's] trailing Clinton by margins of 5 to 10 percentage points, while each of the other Republicans is in the running in at least one state."

2. If either win the presidency we lose. Corporations win, they love centrist business loving electeds

Her record speaks for itself.

3. At this point in 1999

Bush was "trouncing" Gore in the polls.

Polling at this point means nothing. Nothing.

4. This is a local headline that misleads on the results of the poll.

The story of this poll is how close GOP contenders are to Hillary Clinton in swing states.

The headline emphasizes Christie's horrible performance in those polls because it is from a local Philadelphia news source and Christie is considered a local politician in Philadelphia (South Jersey is part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area.)

The Headline might as well say "Clinton crushes weak republican candidate who probably won't even run because he has no chance."

An accurate reading of the poll would be , "Bush and Paul surprisingly close to Hillary Clinton in swing states."

5. Is there anyone on the GOP side Hillary DOESNT beat by a wide margin? THAT would be news! nt

11. Yes, according to that article and poll

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is neck-and-neck with Clinton in Virginia and Colorado, while former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is even with Clinton in Virginia.

7. Swing states...

red states, blue states, the Christie household. Christie for President headquarters. Pretty much anywhere there are humans over the age of 18 with two braincells to rub together.

10. Oh, fer sure, she would trounce Cesare Borgia

But how would she do against Lucretia?

12. But not Bush nor Paul according to that article

Read the article... Hillary does not have a large lead over Bush and Paul in the swing states.

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is neck-and-neck with Clinton in Virginia and Colorado, while former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is even with Clinton in Virginia.

14. And then she would trounce America with more Wall Street-friendly, screw-the-little-guy,

hey-haven't-we-started-any-wars-lately-because-we-should policies.
