In a new Quinnipiac poll, nearly 3 in 5 registered voters in New Jersey do not think their Republican governor would make a good president, [according to Reuters](http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/22/us-usa-politics-christie-idUSKBN0KV11920150122). Overall, 57 percent of the registered voters polled said they did not think Christie would make a good president, including nearly a third of registered Republicans, 78 percent of Democrats and 59 percent of independents. In a hypothetical race between Christie and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, 52 percent of the poll respondents said they would vote for Clinton, a Democrat, including 11 percent of registered Republicans. \[[_Reuters_](http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/22/us-usa-politics-christie-idUSKBN0KV11920150122)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3678183/new-jersey-chris-christie-2016/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3678183/new-jersey-chris-christie-2016/"},"headline":"Most New Jersey Voters Don't Think Chris Christie Should Be President","datePublished":"2015-01-22T14:12:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:47:26.685Z","description":"It's very hard to win the presidency if you lose your home state","url":"https://time.com/3678183/new-jersey-chris-christie-2016/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt86d5dbae8335544b/69876df6cd1bbad2526f4165/chris-christie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt86d5dbae8335544b/69876df6cd1bbad2526f4165/chris-christie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Chris Christie","caption":"Chris Christie","creditText":"Julio Cortez—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3678183/new-jersey-chris-christie-2016/","name":"Most New Jersey Voters Don't Think Chris Christie Should Be President"}}]}] ```
