This morning, Quinnipiac shows New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s numbers slipping a bit. They also show a pessimistic outlook about his chances in his home state in a presidential bid, but it’s worth noting that Christie has denied interest in running in every format short of a skywriter.

Gov. Christie’s split 47 – 46 percent job approval compares to a 52 – 40 percent job approval in a February 9 survey by the independent Quinnipiac University.
In today’s survey, men approve of Christie 56 – 38 percent as women disapprove 53 – 38 percent. Christie gets an 80 – 16 percent approval from Republicans and a 55 – 36 percent approval from independent voters. Democrats disapprove 75 – 17 percent.
Obama gets a 51 – 45 percent job approval. Garden State voters like Obama more than they like his policies. Given four options:
· 46 percent like Obama as a person and like most of his policies;
· 29 percent like him as a person but dislike his policies;
· 2 percent dislike him as a person, but like his policies;
· 20 percent dislike him and his policies.
