Gov. Chris Christie is viewed negatively by 53% of New Jersey voters


As his national ambitions reach new heights, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's poll numbers have sunk to an all-time low.

A majority of 53% of New Jersey voters have a negative view of Christie, according to a Rutgers University-Eagleton poll released Friday.

His job approval rating has also taken a hit: 52% of Jersey voters disapprove of how he is doing his job, down six points since December.

Voters were asked for the reason behind Christie's poll slump: 20% cited his bullying personality and attitude, while another 15% referred specifically to the "Bridgegate" scandal. Another 10% said they disliked the way he was "shunning" his state duties as he pursued his presidential ambitions.
