LA-PPP: Clinton competitive

[Mr. Morden]

men:

Jindal 54%
Clinton 40%

Rubio 52%
Clinton 39%

Ryan 53%
Clinton 40%

women:

Clinton 56%
Jindal 36%

Clinton 54%
Rubio 34%

Clinton 52%
Ryan 39%

The gender gap on all these "Clinton vs. X" polls is enormous.  34 point differential between men and women for Clinton vs. Jindal?  33 points for Clinton vs. Rubio?  We see it in the other state polls as well, albeit usually not quite to *this* extent.  My guess is that the national gender gap on any "Clinton vs. male Republican nominee" race in 2016 would be far greater than in any previous election.

[Mr. Morden]

Did they not poll Clinton vs Christie? Why not?

I think they stopped including him because their last national primary poll had him doing poorly.  Their last primary poll had Rubio first and Ryan second, so maybe those will be the new default names they use on the GOP side for general election matchups.
