The Public Policy Polling survey ties the two on 42% but gives Springsteen much higher favourability ratings.

The survey, conducted from 15-18 July, added Springsteen for fun to a list of possible Democratic challengers to Christie.

PPP, in a press release, said that if Springsteen was to stand and came across as a credible candidate, he could see a rise in the 42% recorded in the poll. "Springsteen has favourability numbers any politician would die for," PPP said.

Springsteen, who lives in New Jersey, wrote to New Jersey's Asbury Park Press earlier this year complaining about Christie's budget cuts.

"The cuts are eating away at the lower edges of the middle class, not just those already classified as in poverty, and are likely to continue to get worse."

When Springsteen refused to play at Christie's inauguration and criticised his opposition to same-sex marriages, Christie joked that it had been two bad decisions by the rock star.
