Christie leads Clinton 42 percent to 41 percent in a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday. Christie’s 1-point lead is the same as Quinnipiac’s poll in November, but a far cry from the 13-point lead Clinton held in October.
Clinton leads other potential Republican challengers, topping Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul 48 percent to 41 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz 50 percent to 37 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush 48 percent to 39 percent.
The four Republicans are at the top of the pack in the hypothetical GOP primary, as well. Christie leads among Republican voters at 17 percent. Paul got 14 percent, Cruz got 13 percent and Bush got 11 percent. All other candidates were in the single digits.
Clinton leads on the other side: Sixty-six percent of Democratic voters went for Clinton. In second place was Vice President Joe Biden with 8 percent, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren got 7 percent.
