TRUMP STILL LEADS GOP FIELD IN NEW JERSEY, CHRISTIE FALLS WELL BEHIND
nj.om ^ | 10/15/15 | Rutgers Univ

Posted on 10/15/2015 10:25:28 AM PDT by BigEdLB

Despite some recent gains on the 2016 campaign trail, Gov. Chris Christie has plummeted among his own party’s 2016 preferences back home, according to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. Similar to national polls, 32 percent of New Jersey Republican and GOP-leaning registered voters choose businessman Donald Trump for their party’s nomination. Trump tops the list for the second straight Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. Meanwhile Christie’s New Jersey GOP support has been cut in half since August, when he was in second place at 12 percent. With just 5 percent of Republican voters naming him, Christie now trails Dr. Ben Carson and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, both at 13 percent, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 6 percent. While tied when results are rounded, he comes in sixth in mentions between former CEO Carly Fiorina and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, each also at 5 percent.

Then I suggest people run because when Christie’s fall stops he’s gonna splatter a lot of crap everywhere and leave a huge hole.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Carson is at 21%. What happened?

Cruz was double digits! What happened?

Rubio at 13%? In what universe?

I’d be surprised if Carson really gets 13%.

Remember a few weeks back, Fiorina was the wonder Woman?

IMO, so goes Carson.

The good news for Cruz is that he is still standing strong at 5%.

Of course that’s the bad news for Cruz too.

If he’s moving at run speed, it’s in a wheelchair going down-hill.

“...and another one bites the dust.....”

Virtually all of them, save Trump and Carson are on life support, and yet they will not get out because they’re still getting GOPe donor money with some failed idea that by staying in, they are going to collectively “bring down” Trump. What a passel of sick bastards we have in what’s left of the GOP. All of them “pledge allegiance” to their wallets each and every day.

??? Of course he’s not running! Just look at him. Never ran a day in his life. But he can break a sweat and walk kinda fast when he spots a plate of donuts.

It is time to send in a crew from Greenpeace to push Christie back into the ocean.

Isn't this sad, Our great Country....people came here to build a Free Country, to get away from the British Crown, and now we have the muslim crown running things, and these so called politicians are so money hungry and power hunger that they can't see beyond their noses....yet they took an oath to protect the very thing that protects our freedoms, the Constitution of the United States of America...

NOT one of these people should be re-elected back into office, vote for the ‘new’ ones...the ones that don't have a politicial super pac behind them....

It is truly annoying with these GOPe clowns who don't stand a chance. They should get out already and pledge their support.
My hopes are for a consolidated Trump / Cruz ticket.
That could conceivably usher a 16-year period of prosperity and relative peace.

The poll surveyed 935 R voters from October 3-10, MOE 3.9%.

So it is a big sample size. Yes. With all these state polls, we are seeing a truer picture that Trump is really well into the 30s nationally, and Carson is several points lower nationally.
