In new NH poll, Christie is at 3%- 2 points behind Trumpy

[cali]

A 2016 poll came out in New Hampshire this week that carried some very bad news for Chris Christie.

The survey, conducted by WMUR-TV, showed the New Jersey governor at 3 percent in the New Hampshire primary, putting him in 11th place in the field -- and two points behind reality show "star"/political huckster Donald Trump. Worse for Christie is that when WMUR last polled the New Hampshire primary back in February, he took 9 percent of the vote.

So, in the space of less than three months, Christie's support dropped by two-thirds in perhaps the one state where he must do well if he wants to be a serious-ish candidate for the nomination. As WMUR's John DiStaso, the dean of Granite State political reporters, writes on the poll:

1. And half of his 3% is probably just due to name recognition

They probably thought they were endorsing a British auction house

2. But he's trustworthy!

That is, we can all trust him to be an abusive jerk...oh, wait, maybe that's the problem.

3. Trump's not running. He doesn't have the guts. nt
