Christie's approval rating hits an all-time low

Source: Politico

JERSEY CITY — Gov. Chris Christie's approval rating has dropped to its lowest point yet and is approaching a record level for any New Jersey governor in recent memory, according to a new poll.

The Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll released Wednesday morning found that the Republican governor's approval rating stands at just 21 percent, down from 26 percent in July.

Dissatisfaction with Christie cuts across political lines, gender, age and sex. Even 52 percent of Republicans surveyed disapprove of the governor's job performance, while just 40 percent approve.

The Bridgegate trial — which 70 percent of New Jersey voters say they’re following somewhat or very closely — is hurting Christie. Fifty-two percent of those surveyed say there is sufficient proof that Christie knew about the George Washington Bridge lane closures and did nothing to stop them.

There would be a lot fewer hungry dogs in Jersey, that's for sure.

However, that's not really a selling point.

"Vote for me, America! My own state doesn't like me."

and get ready to put on the newbie Orange and White stripe suit for prison.

This is his loyalty----------------

I like what he said at the beginning to his response------------a megalomaniac response, always in the first person of his accounts--------always

"CHRISTIE: Listen, it’s – for me"
