Donald Trump may have built up a solid plurality lead among New Jersey Republican primary voters but that magic hasn’t rubbed off on his new top endorser, Chris Christie.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
A new Fairleigh Dickinson poll released Wednesday found 61% overall disapproval with his job performance. Only 30% approved. However, things got even worse when you drill down on the post-Trump endorsement interviews (most polls are based off of interviews conducted over the course of more than one day):
Before the Trump endorsement, 33 percent of survey respondents said they approved of the Governor. However, those polled in the days after the endorsement were decidedly less supportive, with barely a quarter (27%) of those voters content with his leadership. Those who eschew party labels were the most turned off by the Christie/Trump pairing. A third (34%) of independents reported approval if asked before the endorsement, compared with only 18 percent of those asked after Governor Christie threw his support behind Trump.”
“Christie’s return to his roots after suspending his White House run was an opportunity to reestablish some good will with voters. But joining forces with Donald Trump was hardly a vehicle for getting voters to reconsider their sour mood toward the Governor,” explained Krista Jenkins, a FDU political science professor and director of FDU’s PublicMind.

Idiot
Wow! It is that high.
What do you expect in a liberal state
Gov. Pant Load is the perfect symbol of everything wrong with New Jersey: he’s a scheming, bloated, bloviating, self-aggrandizing asshole.
But then…you elected him, New Jersey. Now embrace the suck and choke on it for as long as he remains in office.
Christie can’t do anything right in a Democratic society in NJ!
It was falling like a rock well before that.
Why the hell is he self destructing?
It is a risk. The prize if won would probably be worth it but he does not know now what the downside is in its entirety. A gamble.
Jersey is a liberal state, unfortunately!!!!! That’s why.
Not a fan of the self serving governor. I had high hopes for him, but like all the Rinos he did not fail to disappoint
i can’t believe it’s that high
Time for a RECALL
Would you expect it to go up in a democratic state in an election year
When he has a job in Washington and you need him he will have the last laugh
He’s going to be our next Attorney General and clean up the corruption of Eric Holder and his equally corrupt midget sister Lorretta(little Eric) Lynch.
Shame on NJ, the unions and the democratic representation we have in the state! You have a great to govenor, but I really think NJ misses Corzine and the mess he left to the present Govenor!
I like his endorsement
Not surprising!
