Polls have suggested New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) hasn't paid too much of a price for his office's bridge scandal, but a new one suggests he's lost ground in a potential 2016 presidential campaign.

A new NBC News/Marist College poll shows Christie trailing Hillary Clinton by 13 points in a prospective 2016 matchup.

Last month, Christie trailed by just three points.

The poll shows Christie continues to lead the field of potential GOP candidates in the primary. His lead in that regard is down slightly from six points to four.

7. Thanks for the link, Rock.. will check it out later!

12. Saw the show last night and that few minutes was completely classic.

The Watergate reference alone was some of Stewart at his best.

5. This is what I wonder about. We know CC loves Springsteen...this must hurt!

I hope it is a psychological wound that impedes CC from ever going to higher office! Block him out of that now and forever more! I never want to see his ugly face again!

6. "I gotta take a LEAKKKKKKKK".. something

I haven't seen in the media talking about those 4 days of traffic hell brought on by Christie's staff. All those kids!!

And, I didn't even think of because I haven't ridden in cars lately.. especially that long without a pit stop.

24. And a lot of those cars were carrying kids to school.

Kids have bladders the size of thimbles. It must have been torture.

25. Exactly SunSeeker.. leave it to Bruce

to remind everyone so eloquently!

11. That was awesome! Springsteen and Fallon together...what a ride!

[Cha]

13. I know, huh! Super Classic!

9. I support any Democrat who runs against a republican.

Too much at stake.

10. These polls are pissing me off. Are our standards that low that pundits are continuing

to discuss the possibility of a Christie run, and actually coaching him on how he can "come back" and win? This is not a game! This country is facing serious issues and we should have high expectations when it comes to potential candidates. Even before bridge-gate, Christie disqualified himself with rude and disrespectful behavior, not to mention mismanagement of tax payer dollars.

These pollsters and pundits need to get real and focus on finding the best of the best. They live in this country too and should be concerned. No more ridiculous talk about Palin, Paul, Ryan, or Christie's chances.

14. Kick & recommended for Hillary!

[Demo_Chris]

15. I still believe Christie would defeat her. nt

[bigdarryl]

16. Even though the numbers are in our favor I caution that polling this early MEAN NOTHING!!

In fact polling means nothing it's how those 13 keys line up for 2016 and that all depends on how Obama's performance in his second term is.One bad sign is you have these stupid democratic Senators trying to block his foreign policy on Iran which might prevent him from getting the foreign military key.

17. So, I guess Hilary leaked the e-mails!

[Rowdyboy]

18. Shhhhh! You're giving Limbaugh theories for tomorrows show....

Hell, she's already responsible for everything else that's gone wrong for the last 50 years.....

[joeybee12]

19. Exactly! And she's the one to blame for the polar vortex!

[Rowdyboy]

20. And don't forget global warming!

Benghazibenghazibenghazi as Reince Priebus would say

[joeybee12]

21. Which is a myth, of course...

But she's still to blame!

[Rowdyboy]

23. To truly understand that subtle distinction one needs to be a dedicated dittohead....

with an IQ of under 60.....

In other words, your typical Rushbot.....

22. Goppers are notorious for short term memory.

It would not surprise me if they are neck and neck at primary time.

26. Chris Christie might not beat

The senator from Bombay?
