CHRISTIE MAINTAINS HIGH RATINGS, BUT VOTERS STILL DISAPPROVE OF HIS PERFORMANCE ON TOP PROBLEMS
A year after his response to Hurricane Sandy sent Gov. Chris Christie’s ratings into record territory, a new Rutgers-Eagleton Poll finds New Jersey registered voters continue to embrace him, if not quite as strongly. Christie’s 66 percent positive job rating remains the envy of most politicians, even though it has dropped four points since June. During the same period, disapproval of Christie has increased six points to 31 percent, still well below its pre-Sandy highs.
