April 3, 2014 - Passions Cool For Christie, But Hillary Is Still Hot, Quinnipiac University National Thermometer Finds; Little-Known Elizabeth Warren Generates Most Heat

PDF format



American voters have cooled toward traffic-plagued New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie, dropping him from his January ranking as the hottest politician in the nation to ninth place today, with a chilly 45.2 degree mean temperature, as the Quinnipiac University National Thermometer ranks American voter feelings toward national political leaders.





Gov. Christie scored a 55.5 degree temperature in a January 9 National Thermometer by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll.





Number one today is U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, at 48.6 degrees, but 46 percent of American voters don't know enough about her to form an opinion.





Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is second with 47.8 degrees and only 1 percent don't know enough about her. This is a little cooler than her 48.5 degrees in January, but she jumps from seventh place to second place because several Republican leaders have cooled off.





Today, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is third with 47. 4 degrees and 20 percent who don't know enough about him. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, with a 53 percent don't-know- enough measure, is fourth with 47.1 degrees and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is fifth with 46.6 degrees and a don't-know-enough measure of 54 percent.





"One of the worst winters in memory leaves New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie shivering as he drops from hot to chilly in the minds of America's voters," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.





"Secretary Hillary Clinton holds her own as some of the Republicans who topped the National Thermometer in January also cool in the frozen winds of winter.





"A lot of voters don't know much about Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, but them that do give her a warm embrace."





Mean temperatures for other politicians who have a name recognition of 50 percent or more are:

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida - 46.3 degrees

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee - 46.1 degrees

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky - 45.7 degrees

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush - 44.7 degrees

Vice President Joseph Biden - 42.7 degrees

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas - 42.5 degrees

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo - 41.2 degrees

Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania - 40.9 degrees

Texas Gov. Rick Perry - 40.2 degrees

Former Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont - 40.1 degrees Democrats and Republicans

Democrats have warm feelings for Secretary Clinton, giving her a sizzling 78.7 degree score, followed by Vice President Biden with 65.7 degrees, Sen. Warren with 63.9 degrees, Gov. Dean with 57 degrees and Gov. Cuomo with 55.6 degrees.





The hottest leader among Republicans, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, gets 69.6 degrees, with 51 percent who don't know enough about him to rate him. This is nine degrees cooler than the heat Democrats have for Clinton. The love for Gov. Huckabee warms him to 67.6 degrees. Gov. Jindal gets 67.2 degrees, but 57 percent offer no opinion, with U.S. Rep. Ryan chilling at 66.6 degrees and Sen. Cruz at 66 degrees.





"Break out the shades and sunscreen. It's summertime heat for Democrats in Hillary Clinton's corner while the warmest contender among Republican voters, Gov. Scott Walker, barely breaks free of sweater weather," Malloy said.





From March 26 - 31, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,578 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.





The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and the nation as a public service and for research.

6. (INTRO TO Q6a-Q6t ROTATED) I'd like to get your feelings toward some of our political leaders and other people who have been in the news. I'll read the name of a person and I'd like you to rate that person using something called the feeling thermometer. You can choose any number between 0 and 100. The higher the number, the warmer or more favorable you feel toward that person, the lower the number, the colder or less favorable. If we come to a person who you haven't heard enough about to form an opinion, you don't need to rate the person. Just tell me and we'll move on to the next one.
