The recent New Jersey “Bridgegate” revelations – that lane closure on the George Washington Bridage were ordered by aides of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as political retribution – may not have made much impact on Christie’s GOP support when it comes to getting the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination. …
Although in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll Christie remains among the front-runners for the Republican nomination – 18% of those who call themselves Republicans want him to be the 2016 nominee, ranking him on top with several other Republicans close behind and slightly better than his position in October, the last horserace measurement, most Republicans then and now don’t favor Christie.
In fact, just as they did before the scandal broke, more than a third of Republicans don’t even like him. CONT.
