those polls look pretty rogue to me, according to 270 to win - the website that got 2012 right in every state:

Christie 43-42 (one point ahead, but largely due to the aftermath of his big gubernatorial victory)

Paul 40-49

Ryan 40-49

i dont know where you got those numbers, but they are wrong, any poll that has Cruz above 40% is seriously messed up.

look at statewide polls, clinton is ahead in Ohio 45-36, only 2 points behind Christie in Georgia, 1 point ahead in Louisiana, only 2 points behind in North Carolina, tied in Virginia. (all numbers vs christie)

the democrats could have lost Virginia and Florida, and still won the election 290-248 in the electoral college. I happen to think both those states are becoming more democratic, more liberal, and less conservative. Either you get a liberal republican (enter tumbleweed) to run, or those states go democratic.
