TRENTON — A defiant Gov. Chris Christie appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to defend his badly listing New Jersey job approval polls as the effect of incessant media attacks, rather than his true record.
Asked why his job approval dropped from 70 plus percentage ratings to the current 36 percent low, Christie answered, "How 'bout nightly specials on this network, for like, five months, calling me Attila the Hun? How 'bout relentless attacks from the New York Times and the media?"
However, he also acknowledged the negative effect that his decision to seek the GOP 2016 nomination was taking.
"Then," he said, "then, you also wind up deciding to run for president. And when you do that, inside your own state — and you see that with Scott Walker, you see it with Bobby Jindal — the people in your own state go, 'Aww, you're leaving us? You don't care about us as much?' and your numbers go down. Each one of the governors who's running, their numbers are down in their states, and that's just the way it goes."
Fellow GOP 2016 hopeful, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal saw his job approval numbers sink to an abysmally low 27 percent in March, though they have since rebounded to nearly 50 percent approval.

Wasn’t he supposed to lose some weight or something? Or did that fall by the wayside?
High-Blood-Sugar-Induced Delusion Ping
Christie and Jeb fighting it out for the Booby Prize
He really is delusional if he thinks MSNBC did it.
What do they have, like 50 viewers in NJ?
It’s the Banana Cream Pie talking.
As I’ve previously posted....Krispies tough talk doesn’t make it true or factual.
I guess we’ll have to vote for him to find out what’s in him.
My photo will look great on the cover of GQ after I shed 20 pounds, get a hair transplant, stylish clothes, and some serious airbrushing.
Christie will have a hard time convincing this voter on his handling of replacing Sen. Lousenberg and ensuring that the Democraps retained that seat. But he put his own reelection first.
He obviously doesn’t know that he’s more popular in NJ than he is anywhere else.
NJFatBoy should give it up. The loudmouth spot has already been taken. And Trump at least thinks American citizens should come before illegal aliens.
...he means after he wins a bikini contest....
He lives in a never-never land.
With Donut Guy on the ticket, he won’t win NJ or any NE State.
He brings nothing to the table other than maybe FL.
Sorry, fat boy, it ain’t happening.
Nominee for what? A remake of some Laurel and Hardy films with Christie as Hardy and Laurel as ???
Proof that sanity is not a requirement to run for and serve in political office.
Rand Paul?
Good one.
Someone needs to lay off the powdered-with-crack donuts.
