| Description | New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) enjoyed widespread popularity during his first year in office, but a poll released Tuesday shows that his approval rating is beginning to slip.
Voters in the Garden State split over Christie's performance, with 46 percent giving him a positive approval rating and 44 percent giving a negative rating. Forty-seven percent approve of his governing style opposed to 48 percent who disapprove, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.
In a Quinnipiac poll released Nov. 9, Christie's job approval stood at 51-38 percent.
Elected in 2009 on a reform agenda, Christie has vaulted into national political stardom in part through blunt, off-the-cuff speeches that have become online hits. New Jersey's governor was featured prominently in a "60 Minutes" story Sunday night on measures state governments have taken to reduce budget deficits. Christie has battled public service unions since taking office. |
