Christie's job approval drops to a new low - 15%!!! [View all]

Gov. Chris Christie's job approval rating dropped to 15 percent in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, the worst rating for any governor in any state surveyed by the university in 20 years.

The latest poll puts Christie in a league of his own in New Jersey as well. He had been tied with former Democratic Gov. Brendan Byrne for the lowest job approval rating of 17 percent. The poll said 81 percent of registered New Jersey voters disapprove of the job Christie is doing as governor. He does not have much support within his own party, either, with 58 of Republicans disapproving, according to the poll.

Christie's deep unpopularity with voters is also dragging on his lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno, who is the Republican nominee in the contest to succeed him. Her service as Christie's lieutenant governor has left a negative impact on 54 percent of voters, according to the poll.

Twenty-eight percent of those polled reported a negative view of Guadagno, while 20 percent had a favorable view, according to the poll. Half of those polled said they hadn't heard enough about her to form an opinion.
