Nearly a third of Republicans say Chris Christie is their LEAST favorite presidential candidate

Christie's positive support from 21 per cent of GOP voters polled by Rasmussen Reports topped a field including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. But his negatives totaled 31 per cent. That's nearly one in three GOP voters, all saying they don't want him to run. The national telephone survey asked 1,000 voters on August 1 and 2 whom they would vote for if the party’s primary in their state were held today. Rubio ran a close second, with an 18 per cent showing. Bush took 16 per cent, Paul - who is engaged in a public feud with Christie - polled 15 per cent, and 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan collected 13 per cent of the votes. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker came in last with just 6 per cent. But the stunning level of Republicans' frustration with Christie may be the poll's biggest takeaway

So he’s favored more than anybody eles in the poll but he’s has the most negatives of all the listed candidates? Sounds like Romney Redux.... Sigh*

He is very fat,

Lots will happen between now and 2016.

Recall many here ~ 2010 to 2011 were sure that Romney could get it due to Romneycare.

Dont forget Rubio and Ryan.

Seems that the pollsters and media keep trying to push big RINOs on us!

NO to Christi, Bush, Ryan and Rubio! They all support amnesty for illegal aliens.

He may very well cost more than Obama as we pay to haul his porcine heft everywhere.

Will the presidential limousine have to be an H1 Humvee stretch Limo with a refrigerator and a microwave, as well a snack bar of Hostess products and sugary sodas?

He will require a new Air Force 1 in the form a C130 refitted.

Which is proof enough that he’ll be nominated.

The past two presidential elections have confirmed that the GOP doesn’t want conservative votes.

The fact that he’s fat is meaningless to me. Let’s face it - If he were a true Reaganite limited-government conservative, most of us wouldn’t care how much he weighs.

I live in NJ and think Christie is great for our state; he has nothing to say to most of this country. He is the solution to problems many states simply don’t have (and he looks like a 19th century depiction of a Republican).

Reminds me of a juvenile junior high popularity contest already. The media setting up an another Seinfeld election...a big 'show about nothing.'

How about this time around we conservatives show some leadership and actually start from "who actually understands the moral, constitutional, legal, and political basis for the republic, what's wrong with the country, and what must be done to save it and secure the Blessings of Liberty to our Posterity?"... instead of "who is the most popular guy or gal in the class"?

We need to avoid another Gingrich- Santorum- Romney style primary battle but that worked so well for Romney, I’m sure Christie will do his best to split conservatives down the line and it will probably work for him.

He was probably my least favorite - until I read that Romney wants to run again.
