Chris Christie's approval ratings tank

Is the media happy now that they got this jerk elected?

Right-wing New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has spent his 3 months in office bashing labor unions, gutting state services, and showcasing his incredible arrogance. And it's paying dividends - for his opponents, that is.

Even a new poll by the Republican-leaning SurveyUSA shows Christie's approval ratings are in the toilet where they belong. While 63% disapprove of his job as governor, only 33% approve.

How the hell did he ever get elected? Well, the Republicans made an issue of the imaginary "war on the suburbs", and we know the rich suburbs have most of the clout.

What's Chris Christie's reaction to SurveyUSA's poll? "I could care less," he sniffed.

After he said that, I can just imagine his advisers whispering in his ear, "Election in '13. Election in '13." Kind of like that scene from 'The Simpsons' with Mayor Quimby.
