| Description | "New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s job rating has improved since the state budget was signed, sealed, and line-item vetoed. The latest Monmouth University/NJ Press Media Poll found most state residents are okay with the governor’s controversial cuts. However, there has been a decline in the grades he gets for controlling costs and property tax relief.
Governor Christie currently earns a 48% approve to 42% disapprove job rating among all Garden State residents. Among registered voters, his rating stands at 50% approve to 41% disapprove. This is the first time he has hit the 50% mark in the Monmouth University/NJ Press Media Poll since taking office. It is also the first time since early April that he broke 50% approval in any non-partisan New Jersey poll.
Polls during this past spring showed opinion of the governor declining after he unveiled his budget plan. In fact, the last Monmouth University/NJ Press Media Poll in May had the governor’s rating in net negative territory –46% to 49% among registered voters. Christie’s job approval rating among voters has since increased by 4 points while his disapproval number has gone down by 8 points." |
