First Read: The Joe Biden Honeymoon

 

First Read is a morning briefing from Meet the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter.

 

Here's your Biden honeymoon

Maybe the biggest news from the newest batch of swing-state Quinnipiac polls (of Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania) is the political honeymoon that Biden is experiencing as he mulls a presidential run. His fav/unfav numbers among Democrats are slightly better than Hillary's in these three states:

Florida: Biden 80%-10%, Hillary 80%-15%
Ohio: Biden 79%-10%, Hillary 77%-11%
Pennsylvania: Biden: 87%-5%, Hillary 81%-11%


And Biden fares as well (or better) in general-election matchups against Jeb Bush:


Florida: Jeb 49%, Hillary 38%; Jeb 51%, Biden 38%
Ohio: Hillary 41%, Jeb 39%; Biden 42%, Jeb 39%
Pennsylvania: Jeb 43%, Hillary 40%; Jeb 43%, Biden 42%.
