Christie surges, Palin stumbles in new poll
Daily Caller ^ | 1/5/11 | Will Rahn

Posted on 01/05/2011 9:55:04 AM PST by pissant

According to a new Zogby poll, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie leads other possible Republican presidential candidates and would beat President Obama in a hypothetical matchup.

“Christie’s blunt talk about public employees and his aggressive actions on the New Jersey state budget have made him very popular both within the Republican Party and with independents,” said pollster John Zogby. “If he decided to run, Christie could quickly oust Romney as the favorite of establishment Republicans.”

“Our results are not good news for Palin,” continued Zogby. “She isn’t winning independents, and despite her star power with conservatives, she is not their first choice to take on Obama.”

Christie leads Obama 43 percent to 40 percent in a head-to-head contest. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney ties the president 41 percent to 41 percent. Both Christie and Romney lead the president among independent voters.

Now that Bachmann is considering and is leading towards running. The Primaries are over as far as I am concerned. She has my vote 100 percent. I have wanted her to run for over a year and am thrilled that she is going to do it. BACHMANN 2012!

You are going to keep seeing this s**t especially from crappy TV and ALL of TV is propganda garbage including Rove on Fox bashing Palin. Keep watching Tv - keep being an Obama serf.

Christie at least would be better than Mitt and Newt.

Christie has said repeatedly he has no interest in running for Pres.

I don’t think he’s going to change his mind, but sure wish he would - Christie would eat Zero’s lunch.

Yep. And the Democrats swept the elections this past November, too.

I like Bachmann better than Palin but the media and ALL of TV will smear her.

Seems to me no matter who the conservative WOMAN or MAN be the press is going to go full throttle, does that mean we just vote for the who they want us too? Polls are telling us who to vote for. Weve done that and where did that get us?

We can all count on Pissant to give us the lowdown on where Palin stands. Thanks Pissant!!!

I would love to see a bit more slimmed down (he is working on it) Christie beat Obama in the debates like a red headed step child.

Christie has this weird - I love (libtard) Bruce Springsteen and I love NJ thing going. I know he wants to fix NJ first.

I'm gonna get flamed, but...

I would support him if he lost some weight. He doesn't come across as healthy and I would worry about the stress and traveling that comes with the job.

If Mitt romney or Huckabee are stupid enough to run, I will ACTIVELY CAMPAIGN AGAINST THEM IN EVERY WAY I POSSIBLY CAN

I don't see Christie going Nat'l. Maybe in a supporting role, but not in Pres/VP position.

Even though all pols have the ability to lie through their teeth, I think Christie is on a mission at our state-level and is focused here. Or at least, I hope so.

One thing I really like about Christie. He takes no guff from any of these low life, traitor Democrat vermin. My personal quest, see the Democrat Party completely destroyed, taking Obama, his minions flushing down the toilet together into the cesspool where they so rightfully belong!!! Christie, an east coast street kid, pulls no punches!!! Finally, a Republican that is not a whimp or apoligist for communist Obama!!! Romney, Gingrich, etc. deadbeats!!! Shucks, the women (Palin, Bachmann) outclass these guys in guts & moxie big time!!!

Mark Levin discussed the possibility of Christie as a presidential candidate last night and mentioned several issues conservatives will probably want some clarification concerning: amnesty, gun control, the Ground Zero mosque, and a few others I don’t recall.

And Christie’s endorsement of Mike Castle in Delaware.

polls of any kind two years out even months before a primary are historically meaningless .....the wasted energy here on FR and other sites are pure fodder!

They are keen to Preseason football or basketball polls, how people feel or think but never the actual outcome, been like that for over 40 years of Presidential Candidates polling data

I think that Palin knows that her chances are nill and that she wields far more influence doing what she is doing right now- activism.

She has been unusually quiet lately. Is her son still in the military? Except for some Twitter gossip recently I haven’t seen a statement on DA/DT or any of the lameduck activity.
