Secretary Clinton squeaks by New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie 45 - 41 percent and tops other possible Republican contenders in the 2016 presidential race:

    47 - 39 percent over former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush;
    48 - 42 percent over U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky;
    49 - 41 over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

"Secretary Hillary Clinton's lead over New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie, top-seeded among Republicans, is only four points, smaller than in other recent Quinnipiac University surveys. Whether that means the 'bridgegate' impact on Gov. Christie is fading in the rear-view mirror, only time will tell."

Virginia voters give Clinton a 52 - 44 percent favorability rating, compared to 39 - 35 percent for Huckabee and split decisions for the other Republicans:

    38 - 38 percent for Christie;
    35 - 36 percent for Bush;
    36 - 35 percent for Paul. President Obama's Approval

Virginia voters disapprove 52 - 44 percent of the job President Barack Obama is doing, with a 55 - 41 percent disapproval of the way he is handling the economy and a similar 55 - 40 percent disapproval for his handling of foreign policy.

Voters oppose the 2010 Affordable Care Act 52 - 44 percent and say 45 - 31 percent that they are less likely rather than more likely to vote for a U.S. Senate candidate who supports the health care law. Voters say 42 - 25 percent they are more likely to vote for a candidate who supports a minimum wage hike and say 40 - 27 they are less likely to vote for a Senate candidate who supports a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.

"President Obama's support in Virginia, which he narrowly carried in his re-election, remains stuck in negative territory, with his 58 - 36 percent disapproval among independent voters the big reason why," Brown said.

"The president gets the same negative ratings for his handling of the economy and foreign policy. His economy numbers have been in the dumpster for some time, but nationally his foreign policy numbers have remained good. It would be reasonable to assume that the current crisis involving Russia and the Ukraine may well be responsible for the low foreign policy grade."

From March 19 - 24, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,288 voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.

Interesting numbers. Not insurmountable for Republicans considering this is the state that matched the popular vote most closely in 2008 and 2012.

Rand Paul will get blown out in the state, once the heavily populated northern counties (in which the vast majority of people are employed by the federal government) find out that Rand hates government workers. He called them goons once.
