*** Christie’s collapse: Here’s the other big headline
from our NBC/WSJ poll: Chris Christie’s poll numbers have collapsed in the wake of the two different scandals that have rocked his administration. And the entire rationale for Christie presidential bid -- his crossover appeal -- appears to be gone. According to the poll, his fav/unfav score is now underwater at 22%-29%.
That’s a reversal from back in October, when his rating was a net-positive 33%-17%.
Then look inside the numbers: He now has negative numbers among Democrats (15%-37%), independents (20%-27%), and women (21%-27%) when all of those groups were in the positive territory three months ago. And then there’s his number among Republican respondents: a pedestrian 32%-20%, which is down only slightly from October (38%-19%).
Folks, no one should be describing Christie as a GOP front-runner or co-front-runner for 2016 anymore. Sure, he has plenty of time to recover. But when someone who was never LOVED by the base loses his CROSSOVER appeal, that’s like holding a pair of 3s in a game of Texas Hold’em.
