But one data point buried in the exit poll cross-tabs, and not published in most news stories about the race, might temper the hysteria.

According to exit polls conducted by Edison Research, in a hypothetical 2016 contest between Christie and current Democratic favorite Hillary Clinton, the Republican governor’s support among minorities would drop sharply in his home state.

The question put to New Jersey voters: “If these were the candidates for president in 2016, for whom would you vote?”

In a head-to-head matchup, Clinton would receive 57% of New Jersey Latinos votes and Christie would get 33%. The gap grows even wider with black voters: 86% said they would vote for Clinton, and just 5% would vote for Christie.

1. DUH!

2. Of course.

I don't think there's any republican that would poll well among minorities, anywhere.

3. Bush ll got over 40%

of the Latino vote and won the Asian vote, but that was back when the GOP was less screwy.

4. Right, he was for immigration reform .

Or at least paid enough lip service to it to be believable.

5. Bush actually lost the Asian vote 58-41 to Kerry and 54-41 to Gore.

With that said, his father carried it 55-31 in '92.

6. Thx for the correction.

I forgot that.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. It's all good. Easy to forget...

Considering it was reliably Republican, even through the 90s (Dole won it by a wide margin in '96).
