Jeb Bush

If a presidential primary was held today in New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie would win the Republican nod, as would former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the Democrats' side. The latest Quinnipiac University poll finds Clinton would then defeat Christie by double digits in a head-to-head matchup.

In mid-December, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush announced he was exploring a run for the White House - a move some feel would cut into Gov. Chris Christie's moderate Republican base should he decide to run for president in 2016. One veteran political insider said no one should rule Christie out just yet.

Democrats across the country like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and they want and expect her to be their party's 2016 presidential candidate, according to the latest national poll released Wednesday by Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind. Republicans are largely uncertain.

Former President George W. Bush told CBS' Face the Nation that it's a toss-up as to whether his brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, will run for president in 2016. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is also mulling a run at the White House and has close ties with the Bush family.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is scheduled to headline the Tennessee Republican Party's annual fundraiser on May 30.

Gov. Chris Christie's 2016 presidential prospects are taking a hit as a result of the Bridgegate scandal, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll.
