The poll posed four hypothetical 2016 match-ups with Hillary Clinton as the Democratic
nominee running against Republicans Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz.
Christie comes closest in national preference, trailing Clinton by just 4 points, 43% to 39%.
Bush is behind Clinton by 10 points, 47% to 37%, and Rubio trails by 11 points, 47% to 36%.
Cruz is behind Clinton by 16 points, 48% to 32%. Cruz is also the least well-known of the
potential GOP field and may in fact be ineligible to run due to his birth in Canada.
