Keeping a promise, based on this text from the OP:
Because a major poll from Pennyslvania should come out in the next days, it will be a good way to compare new data to this now very large baseline.
And here it is:
http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_122925.pdf
(The previous PPP poll from Pennsylvania was from June, 2014:
http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2014/PPP_Release_PA_605.pdf)
1,042 RV, MoE = +/-3.0 (Values from the older PPP poll in parentheses)
Hillary Clinton (D): 50
Mitt Romney (R): 40
margin:
Clinton (D) +10
Hillary Clinton (D): 49 (49)
Chris Christie (R): 39 (39)
margin:
Clinton (D) +10
Hillary Clinton (D): 50 (52)
Rand Paul (R): 39 (38)
margin:
Clinton (D) +11
Hillary Clinton (D): 49 (51)
Jeb Bush (R): 38 (37)
margin: Clinton (D) +11
Hillary Clinton (D): 51
Mike Huckabee (R): 39
margin: Clinton (D) +12
Hillary Clinton (D): 51
Ben Carson (R): 37
margin: Clinton (D) +14
Hillary Clinton (D): 52 (51)
Rick Santorum (R): 36 (40)
margin: Clinton (D) +16
So, against 7 potential GOP challengers, 5 of whom were also polled last June, Hillary wins STARTING at +10 in Pennsylvania and goes as high as +16 in a state that has been a single-digit win state for 16 of the last 21 presidential cycles (all the way back to the year 1932), and mid-to-low single digit wins in 8 of those 16 single-digit wins. Here the exact stats:
1.) 1888: Bush 41 +2.32 (topline 50.70%)
2.) 1960: Kennedy +2.32 (topline 51.06%)
3.) 2004: Kerry +2.50
4.) 1976: Carter +2.66
5.) 1944: FDR +2.78
6.) 1968: Humphrey +3.57
7.) 1948: Dewey +4.01
8.) 2000: Gore +4.17
----------------------------------------------------------
9.) 2012: Obama +5.38
10.) 1932: Hoover +5.51
11.) 1952: Eisenhower +5.88
12.) 1940: FDR +6.89
13.) 1980: Reagan +7.11
14.) 1984: Reagan +7.35
15.) 1992: Clinton, B +9.02
16.) 1996: Clinton, B +9.20
------------------------------------------------------------
17.) 2008: Obama +10.31
18.) 1956: Eisenhower +13.19
19.) 1936: FDR +16.04
20.) 1972: Nixon +19.98
21.) 1964: LBJ +30.22
Were Hillary to win PA with +16, as against Santorum at present, her landslide would be in line with Eisenhowers landslide from 1956. In 2008, Obama was the first to carry with state with with a double digit margin since 1972 and most polling in PA showed Obama in single digits. Hillary's polling is starting WAY above that point.
If these numbers hold over the next 22 months, then Pennsylvania would not even be a battleground state in 2016.
BTW, in the PPP poll internals, the women's vote:
Clinton 53 / Christie 38, +15
Clinton 53 / Romney 37, +18
Clinton 54 / Bush, J 36, +18
Clinton 54 / Santorum 35, +19
Clinton 56 / Huckabee 36, +20
Clinton 55 / Paul 34, +21
Clinton 56 / Carson 34, +22
So, where she is winning the state by +10 to +16 in Pennsylvania (according to PPP at this time) she is tromping in the women's vote by +15 to +22. That's probably the most telling statistic in all of this.
That shows nothing more than the concept of getting a vagina in office. You got your black and that ranked higher than reproductive organ. Since you met that goal, all that's left is vagina.
Oh, I am sensing a sudden change in the force within USMB!!
Now, back to polling, which is what this thread is about. A New Jersey Quinnipiac from yesterday also produced these results:
New Jersey NJ Poll - January 22 2015 - Clinton Christie Lead Primary Quinnipiac University Connecticut
Values in parentheses are from the former Quinnipiac poll, for purposes of comparison.
Hillary Clinton (D): 52 (50)
Chris Christie (R): 39 (39)
margin:
Clinton (D) +13
Hillary Clinton (D): 53 (52)
Mitt Romney (R): 38 (35)
margin:
Clinton (D) +15
Hillary Clinton (D): 53 (53)
Jeb Bush (R): 37 (31)
margin: Clinton (D) +16
Hillary Clinton (D): 54 (55)
Rand Paul (R): 35 (31)
margin:
Clinton (D) +19
Hillary Clinton (D): 56
Mike Huckabee (R): 33
margin: Clinton (D) +23
So, in New Jersey, Chris Christie's home-state, Hillary is winning by between +13 and +23.
How do these values shape up with the last 22 presidential cycles in New Jersey?
2012:
Obama +17.74% (strict constitutionalists, en garde!!)

2008:
Obama +15.53%
2004:
Kerry +6.68%
2000:
Gore +15.83%
1996:
Clinton, B +17.86% (three-man race)
1992:
Clinton, B +2.87% (three-man race)
1988:
Bush 41 +13.64%
1984:
Reagan +20.89%
1980:
Reagan +13.42%
1976:
Ford +2.16% (NJ was a major battleground in 1976)
1972:
Nixon +24.80%
1968:
Nixon +2.13% (three-man race)
1964:
LBJ +31.75%
1960:
Kennedy +0.80%
1956:
Eisenhower +30.46%
1952:
Eisenhower +14.83%
1948:
Dewey +4.39%
1944:
FDR +1.35%
1940:
FDR +3.62%
1936:
FDR +19.97%
1932:
FDR +1.90%
1928:
Hoover +19.98%
Of the last 22 cycles, going back to 1928 for New Jersey, 12 DEM wins, 10 GOP wins. Of the last 6 cycles, 4 of the six are at +15.5 or above for the Democrat. In this time, the only time a Democrat lost both in the PV and the EC (2004, Kerry), he only won NJ by single-digits. Hillary's numbers in New Jersey put her right up there with Clinton, B 1996, Gore 2000, and Obama 2008 and 2012.
Also, just a little historical footnote. Look at 1936, 1956, 1972, 1984, 1992 and 2012. In those years where a president was re-elected and won New Jersey both times,his margin went up the second time. New Jersey rewards winners the second time around. And in 2004, when Bush 43 won nationally but still lost New Jersey (making him the first Republican ever in history to have lost New Jersey twice), he still cut considerably into the Democratic margin. So, although New Jersey is in no way a bellwether, it is definitely a Blue-Wall state, the polling margins tell us alot about the national state of things, according to the saying "a rising tide lifts all boats".
Hillary is doing just fine in New Jersey. If Christie cannot even get close to her in his home state, how can he win Pennsylvania (a major Clinton stronghold)? Ohio? LOL....
