CHRISTIE NOT PREFERRED FOR PRESIDENT IN GARDEN STATE

There aren’t too many state residents who want to see Gov. Chris Christie become president. A new Monmouth University poll says that they would prefer Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, or Scott Walker become president than Christie. In a hypothetical match-up with Hillary Clinton, Chris Christie trails the Democrat 53% to 30% among registered voters in the Garden State. Christie also trails his fellow Republican contenders as a preferred candidate. More New Jersey voters believe Jeb Bush (42%) would make a better president than Chris Christie (27%). Similarly, more Garden State voters believe Scott Walker (34%) would make a better president than Christie (24%).
