Christie and Clinton are ‘Hottest’ Politicians

A new Quinnipiac University Thermometer poll finds New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and Hillary Clinton (D) are the hottest politicians today.

The four lowest scores went to the congressional leaders of both parties. A surprise third place on the Thermometer goes to newly-elected Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, although 51 percent of voters don’t know enough about her to rate her.

Said pollster Peter Brown: “Clinton’s score is not surprising given her lengthy political career and especially strong support among Democrats and women. But Christie’s rating is impressive given that his experience – less than four years as governor – pales compared to Mrs. Clinton’ s resume. What is interesting is that only two of the 22 figures rate better than the absolute middle of the scale, not exactly a ringing endorsement of the nation’s political establishment.”
