Chris Christie probably gets the award for the Most Clever Way To Spin Polling for his explanation to Megyn Kelly as to why 65% of voters in his home state think he would not make a good president. But honesty? Not so much.
In her interview with Christie last night, Kelly cited a Quinnipiac poll that found by a 65-29% margin, New Jersey voters think Christie would not make a good president. They know you the best. Why shouldnt we trust them? Kelly asked.
You have to wonder how Kelly avoided laughing out loud at Christie's answer.
CHRISTIE: They want me to stay. A lot of those people in that 65 percent want me to stay. And Ive heard that from lots of people at town hall meetings: Dont leave to run for president because we want you to stay.
Kelly did challenge Christie's response. But they say you would not make a good president, she said.
Christie came up with an even more laughable "explanation."
CHRISTIE: I think people hear the question they want to hear. The fact is that polls in New Jersey will go up and down as well.
In other words, Christie thinks his own constituents are too stupid to answer poll questions correctly. Maybe thats because his overall approval is very low, too.
