The people who know Chris Christie best — the voters of New Jersey — by 2-1 say he should drop out of the race for the GOP nomination for president. A new Quinnipiac University Poll shows only 8 percent of N.J. Republicans back his effort. By 61-33 voters say he should drop out. “Donald Trump leads the GOP presidential pack in New Jersey with 31 percent, followed by Dr. Ben Carson with 16 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida with 15 percent, Gov. Christie with 8 percent and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas with 7 percent, the independent Quinnipiac University Poll finds. No other Republican tops 4 percent, with 6 percent undecided,” the poll said in a news release.
“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the pick of 56 percent of New Jersey Democrats, with 23 percent for Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, 2 percent for former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and 12 percent undecided.”
“New Jersey voters think 2-1 that Gov. Christopher Christie should drop the dream that seemed so possible a couple of years ago, before Bridgegate – a story that Democrats stoked for better than a year and that drove the Gov’s poll numbers down, down, down,” said Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Maurice Carroll. “Even four out of 10 of his fellow Republicans want him to pull the plug.”
