New Jersey Makes A Statement: Not So Fast, FATSO

Poll Has Bad News For Governor Krispy Kreme

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is often mentioned as a presidential contender, but fewer than one in four voters in his home state would back him as a candidate, a poll released on Thursday said.

Two-thirds of registered voters "oppose Chris Christie for president in 2012," according to the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll.

Fewer than half of Republicans and a quarter of independents support Christie as a candidate, the poll found.

"This does not mean a future try would be opposed, just that New Jerseyans aren't joining the national media's storyline that Christie could take the nomination in 2012 if he wanted it," said David Redlawsk, director of the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll and professor of political science at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

Christie, a former prosecutor, has been seen as a rising Republican party star since taking office last year and pushing a lean-government, low-tax agenda. But he has said he did not think he was ready to be president and did not plan to run in 2012.

New Jersey voters are unconvinced the buzz surrounding the governor's political future is good for the state, the poll found.

Nearly two-thirds of those polled said having a governor on the national stage makes no difference or hurts the state's image, while a third of voters said it was a good thing for New Jersey.

we see a lot of this.   Guys that do better nationally than at the state level.  The state knows him, and the more you know about a candidate, the more he divides and more people dislike him.  nationally, people know him for 2-3 things.  People who live there can list 10 things about the guy.  I know 33 is in love with Rubio, and he has no clue about his history of working as a lobbyist and being in elected office at the same time.  Shit like that happens.  This is normal.

Why are you posting this foolishness, especially since Christie has stated MULTIPLE TIMES that he ain't running for president?

And what's your obsession with his weight? Need I go through all the corpulent Democrats that make up team Obama (i.e. his near-300-lb surgeon general, Regina Benjamin, or the many chins of Barney Frank)?
