Governor Chris Christie now has the highest job approval that he has ever had. At 74 percent it’s the highest of any New Jersey Governor in the 17 years that Quinnipiac has been polling the state, and the highest of any on Governor in the seven states that Quinnipiac polls now.
71 percent of voters say Governor Christie deserves re-election.
Maurice Carroll is the director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, He says, "He beats Barbara Buono, the state senator who is the probable democratic opponent for him, 62 percent to 25 percent.

Carroll also says, “if the Republican was Christie and if the Democrat was Andrew Cuomo or Hillary Clinton, Clinton beats him 49 percent to 45 percent within the margin of error and Cuomo trails him 54 percent to 36 percent in New Jersey.”
Carroll says hurricane sandy was a help to boost Christie’s popularity.
With such high numbers the backlash is sure to start any day. Voters should recall former president Bush who went from one of the highest approval ratings after 9/11 to one of the lowest in presidential history once the nation recovered from the shock.
