"Worse than Corzine - What's impressive is that Corzine had these low numbers in the heart of the recession, but CC has more or less inflicted it on himself. CC is just another epic hero trapped by his own hubris."

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie's job approval rating in the state has hit another record low, according to a new poll released Tuesday, which found he has a lower rating than his Democratic predecessor, Gov. Jon Corzine, had when Christie defeated him in 2009.
Christie's approval rating dropped to 30 percent, with more than half polled — 55 percent — saying they disprove of the job he's doing, according to the Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind survey. The approval rating is a six-percentage point drop from a similar poll PublicMind conducted in April.
Corzine left office with 58 percent job disapproval and only a third of voters — 33 percent — who said they approved of his performance, according to PublicMind January 2010 poll.
The new survey comes as Christie, a Republican, is on the cusp of announcing a 2016 presidential campaign.
"The good news is that none of his potential presidential opponents have emerged with a decisive lead yet," said Krista Jenkins, professor of political science and director of PublicMind. "The bad news is that he is the governor in a state where a sizeable majority give a thumbs down to his leadership."
