PolitiFact N.J.: Chris Christie claims Republicans will buck midterm trend

Published: Sunday, November 06, 2011, 3:45 PM

Even if they don't win a new seat, Republicans can still declare victory on Tuesday.

Gov. Chris Christie explained how in a recent radio interview. He said that during the last 48 years every governor in the midterm of his or her first term has lost seats in the Legislature, except Jim McGreevey in 2003.

PolitiFact New Jersey researched state election history and found the governor is right. Besides McGreevey, the last governor to pick up seats in a midterm election was Robert Meyner in the 1950s.

So if the Republicans don't get their clocks cleaned in New Jersey, they've done well.
