Chris Christie got daily national attention for his appearances after Superstorm Sandy hit New Jersey. But as the third anniversary of the big storm nears, a new Monmouth University Poll finds a majority of residents hardest hit are more dissatisfied than satisfied with the recovery effort. “Specifically, just 4-in-10 (39%) hard-hit residents say they are very (6%) or somewhat (33%) satisfied with New Jersey’s recovery effort while 6-in-10 (61%) say they are somewhat (27%) or very (34%) dissatisfied,” the poll said in a news release.
“In many hard hit residents’ opinions, the state has simply not done enough to adequately address their most pressing needs. Three years removed from Sandy, the state still receives more negative than positive marks for the job they’ve done in the recovery effort,” said Tim Tracey, project director for Monmouth’s Sandy Recovery Survey, which has tracked the experiences of approximately 500 hard-hit New Jersey residents every year since the storm’s first anniversary.
