Bad timing all around, Save Jerseyans.
Quinnipiac University came out with a new presidential poll right as Governor Christie was delivering his final “No” answer inside the New Jersey State House.
The results have already-deflated “Christie for President” backers feeling even worse:
Among Republican voters, Christie and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney are tied at 17 percent each, followed by 12 percent for businessman Herman Cain, 10 percent for Texas Gov. Rick Perry and no other candidate above 7 percent.
With Christie out of the race, Romney gets 22 percent, followed by Cain with 17 percent and Perry at 14 percent.
In a 2012 presidential matchup, Christie gets 45 percent to President Obama’s 42 percent. Christie won 87 – 5 percent among Republicans and 45 – 37 percent among independent voters, while Democrats backed Obama 86 – 8 percent.”
As a side note, these results comport with the latest CBS News polling results, showing Romney and Cain tied at 17% with Perry slipping fast and hard.
