Harvard Poll: Chris Christie Loses Ground With Millennials

New Jersey governor and 2016 Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie did not fare so well in a recent survey of Millennials.

A Harvard University Institute of Politics poll released Tuesday found that Christie’s reputation with 18- to 29-year-olds has taken a downturn.

… when … asked of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, more than five times as many said their opinion had gotten worse than said better. Forty-three (43%) percent of those familiar with him say their opinion of the governor has gotten worse over the last year, less than one-in-ten (8%) responded that it got better. A plurality (49%) reported that it stayed about the same.

Overall, 62 percent of 18- to 29- year olds indicated that they had heard of Governor Christie. His favorable rating is 21 percent (3% very favorable, 18% somewhat favorable) and his unfavorable rating is nearly twice as high, 39 percent (13% very favorable, 26% somewhat favorable).

The survey was completed with 3,058 interviews from March 22 to April 4.
