It looks like the media-worship of Fat Jesus may have been a little pre-mature as he isn't faring too well even in his home state of New Jersey. A new poll released today shows that New Jersey voters would chose to re-elect President Obama over Chris Christie by a margin of 13%.
In a separate poll released by Quinnipiac University on Wednesday, New Jersey voters gave Obama higher points for job approval and likability than their governor, Chris Christie, a Republican, who said earlier this year that he "could win" against Obama in 2012.
A majority -- 52 percent -- said they would reelect the president in an Obama-Christie contest, compared with 39 percent who said they would send their governor to the White House. Asked for a word to describe Christie, 140 voters volunteered that he was a "bully"; the second most popular adjective was "arrogant" with 41 votes.
Wait, isn't Chris Christie the supposed savior of the GOP? The one who would absolutely crush the opposition if only he would agree to run for president?
Who needs comedians when you have Republicans?
