(Reuters) - New Jersey residents are becoming increasingly skeptical of the motives of Governor Chris Christie and think he is more focused on his own political future than governing the state, according to a poll on Wednesday.

Two-thirds of adults polled by Monmouth University said Christie put his political ambitions ahead of running New Jersey, up from 56 percent in a poll in September.

Christie, a Republican who is likely to seek his party's 2016 presidential nomination, is scheduled to return on Wednesday morning from a trade mission to London.

I think he is in a downward spiral and I truly don't see how he can get out of it. And it's by his own actions and his own words and his own demeanor. You don't go around yelling at people and bullying them, particularly women and the elderly, without getting some blowback. Karma, ya know...
