Quinnipiac Poll: Christie Maintains 54-39 approval rating

In a Quinnipac University poll released this morning, New Jersey voters indicate that they approve of the job the governor is doing by 54%-39%, the same margin the Christie scored in the university’s May poll.

Christie’s situation on the Seaside Heights boardwalk does not seem to have cost him likability points. Asked if they liked or didn’t like Christie, regardless of his policies, 55% of voters like him, to 35% who don’t. In May 57% said they liked him to 31% who said they didn’t.

Despite liking and approving of the governor, and not liking or approving of the legislature, more voters agree with the Democratic legislature that New Jersey should wait until state revenue figures improve before a tax cut is approved. 49% say to wait for the revenues. 43% say cut taxes now.

While New Jersey likes Christie and approves of the job he is doing, 53% think he would be a bad choice to be Mitt Romney’s running mate. 40% think he would be a good Veep choice.
