By comparison, 45 percent of registered voters rate Christie unfavorably, with most of their ire developing in the last two months, during which he suffered a seven-point decline.
"What had seemed like a small rebound following Christie's Bridgegate ratings collapse now looks more like a temporary blip,” said David Redlawsk, director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling and professor of political science at Rutgers University.
While lingering in just-barely-positive territory, Christie's overall job approval rating is also dropping, falling three more points to 49 percent. By comparison, 46 percent of voters surveyed disapproved of his handling of his job, five points more than a January Eagleton poll.
