NJ-Zogby: Obama now massively popular, defeats Christie by almost 20 points

[Tender Branson]

POMONA, NJ – Likely voters have a 65.6% favorable or somewhat favorable opinion of President Barack Obama, according to a Stockton/Zogby poll commissioned by the William J. Hughes Center of Public Policy at Stockton College.

“When we asked about a hypothetical campaign between President Obama and Gov. Christie, voters favored Obama over Christie by 51% to 33.5%,” said Hughes Center Executive Director Sharon Schulman.

“We also asked if they agreed or disagreed that Christie should run for President in 2012, 68.8% of the voters somewhat or strongly disagreed with him running.”

The poll of 1,000 likely NJ voters was conducted from May 9 to 11 and has a margin of error of +3.2%.

NJ voters were slightly positive on their overall opinion of Christie in general (48.8% favorable vs. 45.4% unfavorable). When asked if the election for NJ governor was held today would they vote to re-elect Christie, voters were evenly split at 44.6% “yes” and 44.1% “no.”

At least it's a telephone poll ...

At least it's a telephone poll ...

So then is it a lolZogby? Obviously it shows a favorable Obama numbers,  but last I remember Zogby isn't a bad pollster in terms of his ability; he just went off the deep end with an insistence of using online samples for the past decade. 

I don't think we've had a poll in NJ in awhile and Jersey might react strongly to the OBL killing.  This could be accurate.

I would expect New Jersey to react strongly and positively to the death of Osama bin Laden. One of the jetliners took off from Newark Airport, and many of those who worked and died in the Twin Towers were New Jersey residents.
