Oh, the humanity!
A brand new poll shows Christie's favorably ratings have fallen a jaw-dropping 27 points in 40 days. A dive quick enough to blow out your ear drums. Just last month, Christie enjoyed a positive +12 national approval rating (43% to 31%). Today, PPP finds his ratings at the bottom of Hudson River, with a negative -15 rating (31% to 46%). OUCH!
I should add that while PPP's last national poll was taken 40 days ago, the evidence that Christie's office was behind the closing of the George Washington Bridge emerged only 21 days ago, on January 8th. So the 27 point collapse has essentially occurred over the past three weeks (hat tip chicago minx for pointing that out).
But it gets better!
The national GOP frontrunner is NOW Mike "Uncle Sugar" Huckabee.
HA!
Huckabee now leads the GOP field, with Christie dropping from first to third.
He's at 16% to 14% for Jeb Bush, 13% for Chris Christie, 11% for Rand Paul, 8% each for Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Paul Ryan, 6% for Scott Walker, and 5% for Bobby Jindal. Source.
Among Republican voters, Huckabee enjoys a 64% approval rating (64% to 18%).
To quantify the extend to which the lunatics have taken over the asylum, PPP finds the most popular person among GOP voters is.... you guessed it.... Half-Governor Palin
this goes to show you how off the hook the republican machine is the more radical and bigoted is good, the more racist and the more misogynistic you are the closer to front runner you get it's like the criteria for being a republican candidate for pres. is all of the above without conscious or a heart and must put party agenda before God, country and family in that order.
you really have to have a dismal lot to pick from when the lead guy is at 16% and the base their pick Palin seems like 2008 and 12 all over again in 5 years wasting their time trying to beat down Pres. they didn't bother to bring anyone along or maybe they put all the cookies in the in Christies ofc well he no longer knows anything about anyone and he's sad.
