Christian Heinze reports on the latest Monmouth University, showing that New Jersey Republican governor Chris Christie remains popular at home:
A new Monmouth University poll shows Chris Christie sporting a fetching 51%/35% approval rating in New Jersey — numbers that mirror another recent poll.
The breakdown:
a. Indies like Christie’s performance by an impressive 54%/28%. That’s+26%.
b. Republicans give him a +56% approval rating; Dems -22%.
c. Men approve of the job he’s doing by +31%, while women are split 43%/42%. Even though that’s a large gender gap, Christie’s number with women is pretty strong, considering females (especially in New Jersey) lean Democratic.
d. For those who think he’s turned toxic on education, guess what — for the first time, people like the job he’s doing on education (+10%).
