Most of the focus on polling this week has revolved around Nevada and South Carolina, where The Donald has jumped out to leads which nearly equal the total of the rest of the field. But at the same time, the rest of the states are checking their own respective pulses, including the home turf for some of the other hopefuls. The news on the home front for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, as it turns out, is anything but sunny. The latest polling from Rutgers-Eagleton shows that the one state where you’d expect his support to remain at least somewhat strong has essentially disappeared. (NorthJersey.com)
Republican support for Governor Christie’s White House bid has dropped by 50 percent in New Jersey over the past two months, while an increasing percentage of the state’s conservatives is backing national front-runner Donald Trump, according to a Rutgers-Eagleton poll released Thursday…
In the August poll, Christie had the support of 12 percent of conservative voters in New Jersey. Now that support is down to 5 percent, even with former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who was the national front-runner until Trump entered the race, according to Thursday’s poll.
During the same period (from August until now) Trump has widened his lead, climbing from 21% to 32%. Nobody else is really even close, though even Carson, Rubio and Cruz are ahead of Christie. (They’re still in single digits, though.) The other big number in this survey shows that 67% of registered voters in Christie’s home state think he should pack it in and drop out of the race. And if he were to do so it might actually have a ripple effect on the rest of the primary tour.

Christie should have spent some of those campaign dollars on advertising instead of donuts for the whole staff.
Yeah......donuts for the STAFF.....yeah.
...and another bites the dust.....
Go Trump Go!!!!
Hi is one of seven that needs to drop out.
This is karmic payback. When Christie didn’t get the VP nod from Romney, it soon became apparent just how petulant he was. He purposely gave a lukewarm speech at the Convention and then made a point of hugging Obama on the beach four days before the Election Day.
RIP Gov’. It’s not likely you will hold public office again.
It is time for the bottom of the polls to graciously withdraw. They never received any “traction.”
Adice to Chris Crisco...take 2 weeks vacation and then quit!
I don’t think they will get biscuits from their masters unless they go through the entire dog and pony show.
Sit up!
Bark!
Roll over!
Beg!
Good doggies here are your biscuits.
From GOPe hands, manufactured at the Uniparty mill and bakery, grain donated by Soros foundations for better transnational living and worldwide freedom abatement initiatives.
I don’t know why NJFatBoy has not withdrawn. If he can’t get over 10% in his own state, what makes him think anyone outside NJ wants him?
Should have promised a WALL fat@$$!
Is an s tag needed?
Biscuits and gravy for all!!!!!!
:)))
You mean the dance video isn’t working?
Can someone post that Christie dance video???
one of seven that needs to drop out
And... I agree with you.
The sooner he’s gone, the better.
Is there some kind of contest going on for something?
I think I heard a few names at the end of a piece about Trump the other day but I’m not sure.
Wake me up on Election Day so we can make what we already know now official.
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was never the front-runner, except in the fantasy view of liberal media and liberal pundits.
