New Jersey Turns Against Christie

[Landslide Lyndon]

I guess his bullying schtick grew old pretty fast.

This, also many Republicans don't realize that Christie won largely due to Corzine and would have lost against, say, Codey or Pallone.

I don't think that's accurate.

Codey would have won, but that's a special case because he was a popular former governor. Christie was viewed as an incredibly strong candidate, one that New Jersey Democrats viewed in 2008 to be, by and large, unbeatable. I don't think Pallone would have have won.

Christie might have looked good on paper but he ran a pretty poor campaign. He allowed the election to become a referendum on him, not Corzine.
And even the WSJ accused him of saying nothing of substance about the issues as a candidate.

Even so, this the second or third poll that finds Christie's numbers slipping during the last month. Maybe the locals can enlighten us if anything special happened or it's just Newjerseyans returning to their usual grumpy mode.

Not sure how it's "pretty fast" when he has been in office and has been "bullying" since January 2010. 

Well, sure. If you compare him with other Republican stars like Walker, Kasich and Scott, his honeymoon lasted longer.

These aren't terrible numbers when you consider approval ratings in the mid 30s are normal for New Jersey elected officials.

But, but, but...
I thought he was the BEST governor of New Jersey evah!!!
And the white knight that would save the Republican party in 2012.

Outspokenness isn't Christie's problem, obnoxiousness is. Brian Schweitzer is outspoken too but he remains very popular in a very Republican state.

It's no coincidence that in a recent poll when they asked New Jersey voters to characterize Christie with one word, the plurality of them chose (surprise!) the word "bully".

Menendez's fav/unfav are 37/35. That's hardly comparable with Christie's 43/53.

Still better than the ratings of his potential opponents. 

If you are convinced that Cory Booker won't run. But if Christie's numbers continue to sink then Booker might take a page out of Trey Grayson and Reince Priebus's playbooks.

Not a word from the haters. Shocking.

He is fat.

[Landslide Lyndon]

We'll see how long it actually holds. Not that it really matters, he still has a terrible attitude for someone who is running a state, he's too angry.

Anger is a sign of sanity and honesty.

That sounds like Bruce Banner's campaign motto.

Classy guy.

Eh, I think we all thought about it in a dirty way at first but I don't think he meant it that way.

Well, there is one way for Christie to use his versatile tongue for good.
