Poll: Christie No Longer New Jersey Republicans' 2016 Favorite

Source: TPM

New Jersey Republicans no longer think Gov. Chris Christie (R) would be the best presidential candidate in 2016, according to a Monmouth University poll released on Wednesday.

According to the poll, 44 percent of Republicans in the state said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) would make a better president, while just 30 percent said Christie would make a better president. And 54 percent of New Jersey Republicans think Christie cares more about his political future than his job as governor.

Christie's approval rating has dropped in recent weeks. According to a Quinnipiac poll released in April, 56 percent of voters disapproved of the job he was doing. According to Quinnipiac, it was the "lowest approval rating ever and the lowest approval rating for any governor this year in the nine states surveyed by Quinnipiac University."

Christie's low poll numbers come as he may have to testify in the corruption case against his former staffer, Bridget Kelly, in the BridgeGate scandal.
