JOTW: Will Hillary Clinton's Presidential Campaign Be Affected By The MLB Postseason? - Video
Hillary Clinton is due to embark on a campaign tour to boost Democrats, but a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Annenberg survey finds its her husband who can give candidates the biggest boost.
Former President Bill Clinton scored the best among eight prominent figures when registered voters were asked if a campaign endorsement would help or hurt a candidate.
An endorsement from Mr. Clinton would make 38% of people look at the candidate more favorably, compared to 24% who would take a less favorable view. No other politician in the survey had a net positive more than one percentage point, the mark earned by Mrs. Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama.
President Barack Obama, 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and GOP Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky all would leave a more negative view of their endorsee among registered voters.
But with campaigns targeting base voters, the partisan numbers may be more instructive than the universe of registered voters. Among Democrats, 70% say an endorsement from Mr. Clinton would leave a more favorable view of a candidate. Mrs. Clintons score was 65%, Mr. Obamas 60% and Mrs. Obamas 56%.
For Republicans, the best campaign surrogate is Mr. Romney at 59%. Less than a third of Republicans said that Messrs. Christie, Paul and Cruz would leave a positive view of whoever they endorse the latest evidence of the split nature of the GOP base.
Only Mr. Clinton and Mr. Paul would give a boost to candidates from independent voters, the poll found.
The survey of 1,181 registered voters was conducted Sept. 26 through Oct. 2 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.42 percentage points. It was conducted in coordination with the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.

Poll: Bill Clinton Helps Candidates, Others Dont
Hillary Clinton is beatingChris Christie in his backyard.
The former secretary of state and U.S. senator from New York leads Christieby 50 percent to 40 percent in a hypothetical 2016 matchup in his home state, according to a Quinnipiac poll released this morning.
"The adopted daughter next door whips the native son when it comes to presidential politics in New Jersey," Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.

Yes, we're more than two years from that election and there's a lot we don't know, including whether Clinton or Christie will run.
What this poll showsis thatNew Jersey is fundamentally a Democratic bastion, Christie's political success notwithstanding. New Jersey has voted Democratic for president in six consecutive elections, including by 18 points in 2012. Christie drew plauditsfor his handling of the state's recovery from superstorm Sandy in 2012, though his dominance in last year's election owed partly to the weakness of his little-known Democratic opponent, Barbara Buono, who's no Hillary Clinton.
And governors don't necessarily replicate their statewide political success in presidential elections, which are contested over a different matrix of issues. Governors do not deliver their home states. Recall that Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, was trounced there in the 2012 election.
New Jersey voters are about evenly divided on Christie's nearly five-year tenure as governor, with 46 percent of New Jersey voters approving and 45 percent disapproving of his job performance, the Quinnipiac survey showed.
Still, Christie's success in New Jersey is key to hisappeal as a national Republican candidate and keeps him in the conversation about the 2016 presidential election.
