WABC-TV ^

Posted on 04/23/2010 6:17:53 PM PDT by Def Conservative

NEW JERSEY (WABC) -- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been in office for just three months, and a new eyewitness news poll shows voters are not giving him any kind of a honeymoon as he presses for budget cuts.

Only 33% of New Jersey residents approve the job Christie is doing as governor.

Nearly twice the number, 63% disapprove.

The telephone poll by SurveyUSA has a margin of error of plus or minus 4%.

1). They are trying to scare him.

2). Doing the right thing won't make you popular, just right. God will likely judge him kindly, if his fellow man does not.

Which means all those people who voted him in to cut spending wanted him to cut someone ELSE’s spending?

I hate those internet polls where they add a declarative sentence to the “yes” or “no.” Like:

“Yes. I support Gov. Christie. It’s about time we shipped all black people out of New Jersey.

“No. I oppose Gov. Christie. We need jobs and opportunity in New Jersey.

Yup.
Plus Christie only won with 49% of the votes, so at 53% now, he is actually polling better than he did when he won as governor.

He’s taking on the treachers and their union - in school budget elections across the state this week, 317 districts turned down their proposed budgets out of 516 total districts - turnout was reportedly as heavy as in most midterm elections in many towns - I’d say the real figures are about 60-30 in Christie’s favor......

Based on the school districts’ budget votes this week, a higher percentage of NJ actual voters are paying attention that at any point in the last 35 years.

The moops who have enough free time and lead such boring lives in NJ that they voluntarily respond to a pollster is the kind of moop who is too lazy to vote.

The lazy don’t support the Gov.

No surprise.
