Poll: Christie Approval Rating At New Low In N.J.
Chris Christie’s approval ratings continue to drop in his home state, according to a new poll.
Only 30 percent of registered voters surveyed by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind Poll said they approved of the job the possible Republican presidential candidate is doing, while 55 percent disapproved. The approval rating is a six percentage-point drop from April.
The new poll also marks the two-term governor’s lowest approval ratings since he took office in 2010, when he registered 48 percent approval. His rating peaked in November 2012 (just one month after Hurricane Sandy ravaged his state’s coastal areas) at 77 percent and has been on a steady decline ever since. September 2014 was the last time his approval ratings were “above water” (46 percent approval-40 percent disapproval).
The percentage of respondents who said they “like everything” about the governor is also lower than ever at 24 percent. Alternatively, 39 percent “dislike everything” about Christie’s leadership. The remainder of respondents are somewhere in the middle: 23 percent like Christie personally but dislike his policies, and 7 percent dislike him personally but like his policies.
