Chris Christie trails Sarah Palin in 2016 survey
In another sign of how far his star has fallen, only 29 percent of Republicans want New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) to run for president, according to a CBS poll released Sunday. Meanwhile 44 percent of Republicans in the survey said they do not want Christie to join the 2016 race.
For comparison's sake, only Sarah Palin posted a worse net rating in the poll. Though 30 percent of respondents said they want her to run, 59 percent said "no" to the thought of a Palin White House bid.
