Majority of New Jersey voters view Christie unfavorably poll Reuters
Approve / Disapprove, NJ: 37 / 53, margin = -15
Approve / Disapprove, IA: 36 / 54, margin = -18
Oy, Gewalt.
The poll by Rutgers-Eagleton noted that "for the first time" a majority, 53 percent, were unfavorably inclined toward the governor, according to a statement.
It said 37 percent of registered voters in the state felt favorably toward the governor, down 7 percentage points in two months.
The poll also found more people in the state now disapprove of the job Christie is doing: 52 percent disapprove while 42 percent approve.
Christie has built an image as a tough-talking politician who speaks bluntly to defend his policy goals, but that image has not always struck a chord with voters.
In a late January poll for Bloomberg Politics and The Des Moines Register conducted by Selzer & Co., 36 percent of a sample of likely Iowa voters viewed Christie favorably.
In contrast, more than half the sample, 54 percent, viewed the New Jersey governor unfavorably.
That poll included 402 Republican likely caucus-goers and 401 Democratic likely caucus-goers, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
