Sharp Reversal for Christie

The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found “a sharp drop in support for the New Jersey governor since the Republican was embroiled in a scandal resulting from a multiday traffic snarl near the George Washington Bridge.”

“In the new poll, more Americans view Mr. Christie negatively than positively, by a margin of 29% to 22%. That’s a swift reversal from October when an earlier poll found 33% of the respondents viewed him positively, compared with the 17% who viewed him negatively.”

NBC News: “Christie’s rating has taken a hit across the board, not just with Democrats. His standing among independents and Republicans is also tepid. Since October, his favorability rating fell 35 points with Democrats, 20 points with independents, and seven points with Republicans. Christie is also struggling with every demographic group and in nearly every region.”
