A new Rutgers-Eagleton poll finds that Chris Christie’s favorability rating has dropped to 46%, a 19% plunge since their last poll in November, when he was at 65% right after his re-election.

Jen Rubin Is in Love Again
During the 2012 election, Jennifer Rubin’s “Right Turn” bloggy-column thing at WaPo essentially functioned as a gauzy ad campaign for Mitt. How Jen loved Mitt, despite the fact that she is Jewish and he is Mormon, despite the fact that they are married to others. Every day, Jen rose and faithfully posted her school-girlish love letters to Mittens. So sweet, so sad. So charming, so creepy.
Right till the end, she refused to believe those annoying, Obama-biased polls, and was devastated when the Kenyan Muslim who hates Israel (the country our Jen loves most) won.
But 100 days into O’s second term, with spring upon us, Jen has recovered and found herself a new man. Her bloggy-column thing today is a love letter to Chris Christie worthy of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Sorry, Mittens.
