Clinton Leads Christie in NJ, VA & NY

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

hillary-clinton-and-chris-christieThe “big” 2016 news on Tuesday consisted of three new polls, Save Jerseyans, each showing Governor Chris Christie trailing Hillary “Hilldawg” Clinton by significant margins in three separate states.

Two aren’t surprising (albeit disappointing). One is much more concerning.

The joint venture of Roanoke College in Virginia, Rutgers-Eagleton in New Jersey, and Siena College in New York found the former Secretary of State leading New Jersey’s top Republican by 8 points, 10 points and 36 points, respectively. A dissenting Virginia survey from Christopher Newport University dropped Monday found a statistical tie with Clinton ahead 43% to 41%.

It’s early, yes, and we all know that the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll’s election projection accuracy is akin to that of a gambler picking lottery numbers.

We’ve still seen plenty of evidence over the past couple of weeks reinforcing the conclusion that the Governor’s base support is flat-lining due to a confluence of damaging storylines; a recent Monmouth poll even found close to one quarter of New Jersey Republicans turning on their standard-bearer.

I discussed some of those factors with Newsmax over the weekend if you’re interested in checking’em out. As always, your feedback is welcome…

  1. Well that was the media and democrats goal with so-called BridgeGate and dragging Christie’s name through the mud. I don;’t think Clinton leading in NY means anything though – I seriously doubt he would have lead there no matter what. New Yorkers love their carpetbagger Senator.

  2. Robert, Christie is to blame for surrounding himself with jackals. Phony Baroni is the worst; saw through him the first time I met him a decade ago. And their plot to raise tolls while making Christie look “good” by only raising them a massive amount instead of an absurd amount makes Christie look like an ass.

    I don’t trust the guy and won’t be voting for him in the primary or the general, but I won’t have to because he won’t even sniff the nomination.

  3. If the poll’s intent was to present Christie as sorta Republican frontrunner, face met palm with bone crashing force. Stick a harpoon in him, he’s ready. How did your snogfest with Ogabe work out for ya, Mr. Governor?

  4. This has obviously been a long time coming,
    but given the economic conditions of many of the city.
    This has led to a spurt in the demand for reliable LCL consolidators to serve the requirements
    of small and medium-sized businesses and manufacturers.
    The staff will assist every way they can from your initial enquiry, all the way through to the completed move, and they can help by providing
    boxes and materials, packing and unpacking, crating and wrapping plus more.
    Seven layers are what the OSI model is built on and the counting usually begins from
    bottom to the top. Ensuring that the company is insured also takes a burden off your mind since you know that any damage to the goods during
    transit shall be paid for by the international shipping
    container company.
