 As he nears a presidential decision, Gov. Christie’s approval rating at home has fallen to 30 percent in a new Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll. The poll, released Tuesday, found 55 percent of New Jersey registered voters disapproved of Christie. The ratings represent a drop since April, when 36 percent of voters approved and 50 percent disapproved. Another gap grew on the question of whether voters like both the Republican governor and his policies. While 24 percent said they did, 39 percent disliked both, the widest gulf the poll has recorded. In February, 29 percent liked both Christie and his policies, and 35 percent disliked both. Forty-two percent of voters said they liked Christie less than when he took office in 2010, while 13 percent liked him more. The poll found 41 percent of voters unchanged in their opinion. 
  
 “The good news is that none of his potential presidential opponents have emerged with a decisive lead yet,” said Krista Jenkins, professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson and director of PublicMind. “The bad news is that he is the governor in a state where a sizable majority give a thumbs down to his leadership.” 
  
 Jenkins noted the ratings found broad dissatisfaction with New Jersey’s leadership. The poll found 24 percent of voters approved of the state Legislature, and 44 percent disapproved. 
  
 Christie's approval rating, which peaked in the 70s in the PublicMind poll following Hurricane Sandy in late 2012, dropped in the wake of the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal in January 2014. It stayed in the 40s in the PublicMind poll before sliding into the 30s earlier this year. 
  
 The governor's predecessor, Democrat Jon Corzine, left office in January 2010 with a 33 percent approval rating in the PublicMind poll and 58 percent disapproval. 
  
 The poll released Tuesday of 792 self-identified registered voters was conducted June 15-21 and has a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points. ||||| In anticipation, Christie has been furiously hopscotching the country in recent weeks. | Getty 2016 Chris Christie to announce 2016 bid as early as next week 
  
 Chris Christie is in the final stages of preparing his 2016 presidential bid, with a formal announcement possible as soon as next week, according to several sources familiar with the discussions. 
  
 The New Jersey governor’s planning has intensified in recent days. On Monday, his campaign-in-waiting announced that he’d hired two additional staffers in New Hampshire, a state seen as critical to his White House hopes. Earlier this month, Maria Comella, a longtime Christie aide, departed the governor’s official office to take a senior position at his political action committee.

 A Christie spokeswoman, Samantha Smith, declined to comment. The governor’s aides have previously said that he isn’t likely to launch his presidential campaign until the New Jersey legislature finalizes the state budget — expected to be around the end of June. 
  
 The announcement will mark the latest chapter in a tumultuous political career. After defeating a Democratic incumbent in 2009, Christie established himself as the GOP’s foremost rising star — a swaggering, tell-it-like-it-is pol who seemed to be the antidote for a party that was struggling to win over voters in blue states. In the years since, however, Christie’s national prospects have been damaged — especially by the revelations that his top aides concocted a plan to close lanes on the George Washington Bridge in an act of political retribution against a local mayor who refused to endorse the governor’s 2013 reelection bid. 
  
 Christie’s once-stratospheric poll numbers — both nationally and in his home state — have since plummeted. A Fairleigh Dickinson University poll released on Tuesday showed Christie with just a 30 percent approval rating in New Jersey, while a Suffolk University poll showed him winning the support of only 5 percent of likely voters in New Hampshire. 
  
 But Christie’s aides insist there’s room for him in the 2016 field. With former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush struggling to distance himself from the rest of the pack, they say, the lane for an establishment candidate remains open. Aides to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who is also contemplating a run, have put forward a similar argument for his potential candidacy. 
  
 The hope, Christie’s team says, is that his authentic political brand will shine through, both on the debate stage — Republicans are preparing to hold their first primary debate in August — and in New Hampshire. The state has a history of breaking for moderate, independent-minded Republican candidates, and Christie has been a frequent visitor there. Those familiar with his early planning for a 2016 bid say he’s prepared to make it the cornerstone of his electoral strategy. 
  
 In anticipation of his announcement, Christie has been hopscotching the country in recent weeks, attending Republican cattle calls in Oklahoma City, Utah and Washington, D.C., where he delivered fiery speeches castigating a Republican rival, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, over national security. 
  
 “If you want to know how little [senators] know, watch what Rand Paul’s done the last two weeks,” Christie told Republican donors at a conference in Deer Valley, Utah, hosted by Mitt Romney, referring to Paul’s opposition to the PATRIOT Act. “Because, I will tell you, he’s made America weaker and more vulnerable, and he’s done it for his own personal and political gain, and he’s done it to raise money.” 
  
 Christie has also delivered speeches in early primary states in which he’s detailed his policy proposals on issues like entitlements, taxes and electronic surveillance. 
  
 In addition to building a campaign apparatus, Christie has also hired for a super PAC, America Leads, that will be supporting his candidacy. The group recently announced that it had brought on Gene Ulm, a veteran Republican pollster, and Mike Leavitt, a mail consultant. 
  
 While Christie won’t be nearly as heavily funded as Bush — whose super PAC is believed to have brought in around $100 million so far — the New Jersey governor has a team of donors that includes Home Depot CEO Ken Langone and hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller. Both are expected to write big checks. (“I am going to work my ass off to make sure that Chris Christie never needs money,” Langone told POLITICO in January.) 
  
 Earlier this month, Christie dropped another hint that he was nearing a run. While campaigning in New Hampshire, the governor said that his family — one of the last major hurdles to his entering the race — was on board. 
  
 “This is about me now,” he said. 
  
 Follow @politico ||||| A new Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll shows that there are still people left in New Jersey who liked Governor Chris Christie — though they are an increasingly endangered species. Only 30 percent of voters think he is doing a good job — a 6 percent drop from April. Twenty-four percent of voters like both Christie and his policies. 
  
 Christie seems to be moving quickly through the stages of grieving for his dying popularity. He is past the denial he showcased last month, when he insisted that New Jersey residents didn't want him to run for president because they were afraid he would leave them, and appears to have moved on to bargaining by trying to find the missing 70 percent of Christie fans in states that are not New Jersey. Christie, who has not announced a presidential bid just yet, is hiring more staffers in New Hampshire, a state that almost has the same name as New Jersey, and he took a trip to Iowa earlier this month. 
  
 However, recent polls have Christie with the support of only 4 percent of Iowa Republicans, and 5 percent of New Hampshire Republicans. Time to keep searching for fans, Christie. They must be somewhere out there ... |||||
Chris Christie is getting ready to leap into the already crowded pool of the GOP's 2016 hopefuls, insiders say. Sources tell Politico that the NJ governor is in the final stages of preparation and plans to finally confirm the long-rumored bid with an announcement next week. Christie has been making speeches across the country in recent weeks and has dropped major hints at a bid, including saying his family is finally on board, Politico notes. But while supporters say there's still plenty of room for a GOP establishment-friendly candidate, Christie has been on the scene too long to be seen as a fresh face or a rising star—especially in light of the long-running bridge closure saga. Christie's biggest problem may be his lack of popularity even in New Jersey, where a poll released yesterday put his popularity rating at 30%, down around 40 points from its peak in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. "The good news is that none of his potential presidential opponents have emerged with a decisive lead yet," pollster Krista Jenkins at Fairleigh Dickinson University tells the Inquirer. "The bad news is that he is the governor in a state where a sizable majority give a thumbs down to his leadership." Other recent polls gave Christie 4% support among Republicans in Iowa and 5% in New Hampshire, where he recently hired more staffers, New York magazine reports.
