Gov. Chris Christie’s poll numbers have been dealt a sharp blow by the George Washington Bridge scandal, with his overall favorability dropping 19 percentage points since November, according to a new poll.
The Rutgers-Eagleton survey, released Wednesday, has Christie’s most recent favorability at 46 percent, down a full 19 percentage points from the 65 percent favorability he held leading to his November reelection.
Despite the rash of negative press attention, a majority of New Jersey residents still approve of the governor’s job performance, with 53 percent saying they believe he is doing a good job as the state’s chief executive.
But while the new poll shows that his job performance is still viewed positively by most New Jersey residents, it is difficult not to compare the new number with his 68 percent job approval rating in November, a 15-point drop in just a few months.
