Hillary Clinton and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) are running neck-and-neck in a midwestern battleground, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University released on Monday.
The poll found Clinton and Christie each claiming the support of 41 percent of Iowa voters in a hypothetical matchup of the 2016 presidential race. In other hypothetical matchups tested in the poll, Christie topped Vice President Joe Biden by 17 points while Clinton bested Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) by seven. Walker edged Biden by three points, the poll found.
Democrats have carried Iowa in six of the last seven presidential election cycles, including victories by President Barack Obama in the Hawkeye State in both 2008 and 2012.
