Quinnipac released a poll of NY state voters that showed Clinton and Cuomo well ahead of the top Republican candidates in the state.

Clinton leads:
60 – 29 percent over Jeb Bush (+31)
61 – 30 percent over Rand Paul (+29)
54 – 34 percent over Chris Christie (+20)

Cuomo leads:
53 – 30 percent over Bush (+23)
55 – 31 percent over Paul (+24)
47 – 37 percent over Christie (+10)

– Overall Clinton does a better job against the Republicans than Cuomo
– Overall Christie does the best amongt the Republicans which isn’t a surprise given his close proximity to NY

One bright spot for Christie is has has closed the gap since February where he was down by 27 to Clinton (picked up 7 points) and down by 16 points to Cuomo (picked up 6 points)

NY is heavily Democratic as evidenced by Obama’s 63-35 win over Romney in 2012 and is not expected to be in play in 2012.
