Poll: Majority Give Christie Thumbs Up as Governor
The Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows Christie didn't get a bounce from delivering the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention. But the first-term governor hardly needed it.
The poll finds 53 percent of voters approve of Christie's job performance, compared with 42 percent who disapprove. That's nearly identical to his score in a July poll.
Nearly two-thirds of men approve of Christie, while women are statistically split over whether the governor is doing a good job.
