New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is the “hottest” political figure in the country, according to a new temperature poll.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is the “hottest” political figure in the country, according to a new temperature poll.

Voters were asked to give politicians a number from 0-100 representing how they feel about that figure, with 0 being least favorable, or coldest, and 100 being most favorable, or warmest, in the new Quinnipiac survey on Monday.
 
Christie’s mean score was 53.1, topping the heap. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in a close second, at 52.1 degrees, and third was Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), at 49.2 degrees, although 51 percent of voters did not know enough about her to make a judgment.
 
President Barack Obama was fourth, at 47.6.
