December 27, 2013 – New Jersey Governor Chris Christie continues to have a slight lead over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a new 2016 presidential poll.

Christie edges out Clinton 48% to 46% in the latest presidential poll. The race though is essentially tied as the 2% spread is within the poll’s margin of error. This continues a string of polls since Christie landslide re-election victory in November where he has either tied or slightly beats Clinton.

The poll also measured Clinton’s strength against other potential 2016 GOP opponents, all of who she easily out distances.

When matched against Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, she receives 52% to Ryan’s 44%.

After Ryan, the poll projects Hillary Clinton would beat any other GOP candidate by a double digit margin.

Clinton tops Senator Rand Poll of Kentucky by 13%, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas by 18%, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida by 19%, and former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush by 21%.
