Politico – N.J. Poll: Christie Hits All-Time High
June 12, 2012“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s favorability rating has reached an all-time high, according to a new poll Tuesday.
“For the first time since Christie took office in 2010, 50 percent of registered New Jersey voters have a favorable view of the Republican governor, a 4-point increase since late March, a Rutgers-Eagleton poll found. About four in 10 voters in the Garden State, 39 percent, have a negative view of their governor, while 11 percent say they don’t have an opinion.
“Christie’s boost in the polls comes mostly from male voters, the new survey found. In March, 49 percent of men and 43 percent of women had positive views of the governor. In Tuesday’s poll, Christie saw a 7-point favorability hike among the men, 56 percent of whom gave the governor a thumbs-up. Meanwhile, Christie’s approval rating went up just 2 points among the women since March.”
