Just 27% of New Jerseyans say Chris Christie would make a good president. More than two-
thirds (69%) say he would not. A few months ago,
Christie was asked on national TV about similar poll
results. He responded that survey participants told
pollsters he would not make a good president because
“a lot of those people...want me to stay.” Monmouth
followed up with the participants in our poll and
found that just 5% of those who said he would not
make a good president say they gave that response
because they would rather have Christie stay in Ne
w Jersey. Fully 89% of this
group, though, confirmed
that their answer meant they really think he would make a bad president.
