Cory Booker: Gov. Christie is 'vulnerable' in next year's election [View all]

Newark Mayor Cory Booker thinks Gov. Chris Christie is "vulnerable" next year in his re-election bid.

In an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, Booker was asked if he could beat the popular Republican governor should he decide to run next year.

"Look I think he’s vulnerable. I think he’s vulnerable to any Democrat," Booker said. "His high mark right now, head to head with me, he polls at 53 percent."

Booker was referring to a recently released Quinnipiac poll that gave Christie 53 percent of the vote in a match-up with the mayor. Booker only got 35 percent of the vote in the same poll.
