New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has yet to officially announce his run for President in the not-to-far-away, 2016 election, but most political analysts can read between the lines. According to the official Bloomberg Politics/Saint Anselm New Hampshire Poll, Christie, who will supposedly announce next year whether or not he will run for presidential office, looks to be in good shape for the job.

The poll stipulated that Christie is currently in a tie with Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky among Republican primary voters. Both potential candidates have taken trips to New Hampshire lately, proving that they are pretty serious about trying out for the big office.

However, they are certainly not in the clear. According to NJ.com, Republicans are railing behind past nominee Mitt Romney to try again for the position. If Romney were to run, he would be the front runner, effectively pushing Paul back to second and Christie back to third.

However, Romney has no intention to re-run. When asked, most Romney supporters would pick Christie for their second choice, Florida Governor Jeb Bush as their third choice and finally Paul as number four. It should be noted that although voters are partial to Christie, he does have some messes to clean up on the way to the White House. Scandals including this year’s “Bridge-gate” are speed bumps, plus there’s the fact that a lot of his fellow republicans just don’t like him very much. Only time will tell as 2016 rolls around.

When it comes to Democrats, NBC News reports that Hillary Clinton would be the clear frontrunner for the democratic nomination if she decides to run for president in 2016. Her numbers are strong among the democratic voters as she easily defeated Vice President Joe Biden in Iowa, 70 percent-20 percent and in New Hampshire, 74 percent-18 percent.
