GOP Gov. Christie’s campaign to report $4.2 million raised

Not only that, almost two-thirds of those surveyed say Christie should drop out of the race.

Including New Jersey voters of both parties, 67 percent of voters said Christie should end his campaign, compared with 27 percent who said he should stay in the race. But he fell behind Trump in the poll this summer.

In the early primary state of New Hampshire – where he has been focusing much of his campaign effort – Christie had 7 percent support in a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll of likely Republican primary voters, up from 5 percent in the poll in September.

Republicans are also giving up on “Christie for President”, with only 41 percent saying he should keep running, against 54 percent saying he should call it a day.

Governor Christie on the presidential campaign trail Monday, October 12, 2015, in Manchester, N.H. Marco Rubio, tied at 13 percent, and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has 6% of support and former tech CEO Carly Fiorina takes 5%. Only 9 percent say Christie’s prospects have improved in the past few months; the rest are split between whether his chances have remained the same or worsened, showing little difference since April.

Four other presidential contenders now fill the gap between Trump and Christie, with results mimicking those of national surveys.

When asked why Christie ranks so far below other Republican candidates, many voters mention his performance as governor or his overall attitude and character. The poll shows Donald Trump leading among New Jersey voters by a wide margin.

“Christie no longer has any home-state advantage, ” pollster Ashley Koning said. The margin of error among the 273 Republican voters polled was 6.6 points. Interviews were done in English and, when requested, Spanish.
