In January, more than half of voters who disapproved of Christie's job performance took a favorable view of his Sandy response. Now, about two-thirds of voters who disapprove of Christie's performance generally also disapprove of his response to Sandy.

Despite the shift, most New Jersey voters are still behind the governor. Nearly 90 percent of those who voted for Christie last November said they would vote for him as governor again if they had the chance.

Christie's overall job approval has remained stable, with 55 percent of voters saying they approve and 39 percent saying they disapprove, the poll found. Six weeks ago, 53 percent said they approved of his job performance and 41 percent did not.

Nearly half of voters said they believe the administration withheld Sandy aid from some mayors in retaliation for not receiving their re-election support.

Blame The Feds: Professor Christie Defends Sandy Aid Distribution

Gov. Chris Christie offered Wednesday a detailed, step-by-step analysis of why Sandy aid has been slow getting to victims -- and why it is largely the federal government's fault, not his.

At a town hall meeting in Berkeley Township in Ocean County on the Jersey Shore, Christie downgraded his assessment of how much money New Jersey will receive from the federal government. In May 2013, when federal first started flowing, Christie said the state would see as much as $25 billion; on Wednesday, a spokesman said New Jersey may get as little as $10 billion.
