New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) is banking on New Hampshire to revive his presidential prospects. He may want to reconsider that approach.
In a new Bloomberg Politics survey, conducted by Purple Strategies and released Monday, Christie placed sixth among a slate of GOP candidates at seven percent. Worse, he came in one spot behind real estate tycoon and political lightweight Donald Trump. Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker led the poll with 12 percent apiece, followed by Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.).
