just where do you suppose rock bottom is for Christie?

Christie's approval ratings in N.J. dip after Trump endorsement

Gov. Chris Christie's low approval ratings back home in New Jersey sank further after the former 2016 hopeful endorsed Republican front-runner Donald Trump, according to a new poll.

Sixty-one percent of New Jersey voters disapprove of the job Christie's doing as governor, with only 30 percent indicating they approve of his job performance, according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind Poll released on Wednesday.

The latest dip in the polls is linked to him endorsing his former rival instead of focusing his attention on the Garden State, said Krista Jenkins, professor of political science and director of FDU's PublicMind.

The survey found Christie's approval rating dropped six percentage points in the days after he backed Trump.

"Christie's return to his roots after suspending his White House run was an opportunity to re-establish some good will with voters. But joining forces with Donald Trump was hardly a vehicle for getting voters to reconsider their sour mood toward the governor," Jenkins said.

Prior to endorsing Trump, Christie held a 33 percent approval rating. In the days after his surprise announcement last week, his approval rating dropped to 27 percent.
