New Reuters Poll Shows Chris Christie at 0%

MORRISTOWN, NJ – Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is trending on Democrat media stations and left-leaning political websites. Still, when it comes to GOP primary voters, he’s back in the gutter.

In an IPSOS poll sponsored by Thompson Reuters, Christie polled at 0% amongst Republican Voters, tied with fellow anti-Trumper Liz Cheney.

The bad news doesn’t end there for the Baron of Bridgegate. A Morning Consult poll showed Christie is the least favorable among all 2024 GOP presidential candidates.

That poll showed 45% of Republican voters seeing Christie as ‘unfavorable’. The second most unfavorable candidate was former Vice President Mike Pence at 39%.

Both Christie and Pence are both viewed as former Trump loyalists who have stabbed the former president in the back. 13% of Republican voters nationwide say they have never even heard of Christie and did not recognize his name. Only 24% see the former governor as a favorable candidate when asked.

Former President Donald Trump remains dominant in the Republican primary field, with a significant lead at 47%. However, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has experienced a decline in support, dropping to 13% from mid-July, a six-point decrease.

A survey indicates that just under half of Republicans (45%) would not back Trump if he were convicted of a felony by a jury. On the other hand, over one-third (35%) of Republicans would continue to support him, and 20% are unsure about their stance in such a scenario.

If Trump were to face a felony conviction, more Republicans (35%) would still rally behind him compared to an unnamed candidate (19%). This finding suggests that Trump’s popularity among his base remains relatively strong despite potential legal challenges.

Moreover, the survey reveals that if Trump were currently serving time in prison, half of Republicans (52%) would not support him. In contrast, 28% would still back him, and 20% are uncertain about their decision. In comparison, only 13% of Republicans would support an unnamed candidate in prison.

The data also highlights a partisan difference in response to these scenarios. Republicans (19%) are twice as likely as Democrats (8%) to vote for an unnamed candidate if that candidate were convicted of a felony by a jury. Similarly, Republicans (13%) are slightly more inclined than Democrats (9%) to support a candidate who is currently in prison.

These findings indicate the enduring influence of Donald Trump within the Republican party and suggest that his supporters, despite possible legal challenges, remain steadfast in their support. However, the decline in support for Ron DeSantis indicates that the Republican primary field is still open to shifts and changes as the 2024 election approaches.
