NJ Voters Give Gov. Christie Mixed Approval Rating

Andrew Burton/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Is Bridgegate sticking to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie?
According to new Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday, 48 percent of Garden State voters approve of Christie’s job performance while nearly the same amount — 47 percent — disapprove.
The results compare to a 46 to 45 percent approval rating on Oct. 1 and, according to Quinnipiac, continue an 11-month slump that began when the Bridgegate scandal broke.
The latest survey took place on Dec. 3-8, so part of the polling would have covered the new results from an interim state committee Bridgegate report, which in some ways cleared the potential 2016 presidential candidate of any wrongdoing, although the report is not final.
But with some key issues, Christie is under water. On handling economy and jobs, he gets 41 to 51 percent. As for handling the state budget, he gets 42 to 48 percent and for education he gets 39 to 50 percent.
