New Jersey voters disapprove 64 - 29 percent of the job Gov. Christopher Christie is doing, his lowest approval rating ever and the worst approval rating in six years for any governor in the nine states surveyed by Quinnipiac University, according to a poll released today.
Gov. Christie's lowest approval score before today was a 56 - 38 percent disapproval in an April 20, 2015, survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.
Today, Republicans approve by a lackluster 59 - 34 percent, while disapproval is 86 - 9 percent among Democrats and 66 - 26 percent among independent voters. In fact, Republicans are the only party, gender, age or racial group listed to give Christie a positive score.
New Jersey voters say 72 - 18 percent that likely Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump should not pick Christie as his running mate. Even Republicans say no 64 - 27 percent.
"Gov. Christopher Christie is in Trenton until the end of 2017, if he wants to be, holding what is constitutionally one of the strongest governor's seats in the nation. But New Jersey voters give Christie abysmal job-approval numbers. Even a third of his fellow Republicans disapprove," said Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Maurice Carroll.
"Christie-for-President was a flop and, as far as the local folks are concerned, so is Christie-for-Vice President. Forget local pride, New Jersey voters say overwhelmingly; they don't want their Gov on a Trump ticket."
"It's a drastic decline in popularity for a governor who once looked like a strong choice for president," Carroll added.
