Chris Christie Would Be A Bad Vice President: New Jersey Voters

NEW YORK (Reuters) – New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie doesn't want to be vice president and most voters in his state agree because they don't think he would do a good job, found a poll released on Tuesday.

Christie has been touted by some Republicans as a rising party star since taking office last year, but after saying he does not plan to run for president in 2012, the former prosecutor has been suggested as a potential running mate.

A Quinnipiac University poll found 2-1 New Jersey voters say Christie -- who pushes a lean government and low-tax agenda -- would not make a good vice president, reflecting a similar poll sentiment toward Christie running for president.

When it comes to his role as New Jersey governor, the poll found that 44 percent of voters approved of the job he is doing and 47 percent disapproved, driven by female dissatisfaction.

The telephone poll of 1,610 voters found that women disapprove of Christie's job 54 percent to 36 percent, while men approve of his job 53 percent to 39 percent.

"Gov. Christie is having a big problem with women, perhaps because they care more about schools and disapprove 60-34 percent of the way he's handling education," said Maurice Carroll, Quinnipiac University Polling Institute director.

The state's highest court recently ruled that education cuts of about $1 billion last year were unconstitutional and shortchanged disadvantaged students. The court ordered the state to spend about $500 million more on its poorest schools.

Earlier this month, Christie announced a pilot program that would allow private companies to run public schools in some of the state's chronically underperforming school districts.

"Should the state spend more on poor schools? Most think so. A larger majority think ALL schools should get more state money. Narrowly, voters say the court was right to order the additional spending on poor schools," Carroll said.

"How to get the money? Cut spending, rather than raise taxes, voters say. But they'd go for a 'millionaire's tax,'" he said.

The poll was taken between June 14 and June 19 has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

From pop star to Haiti's president

It was just before Christmas when Michel Martelly mulled over events in his troubled land and concluded that everything had been done to ensure loss for him at the polls.
An election rife with fraud had ousted him from the race. Martelly's dreams of leading Haiti were all but dead. But four months of recounts and reviews and then a runoff changed everything, and the unexpected candidate is poised now to move into the presidential office.
Unexpected because Martelly has never been a politician.
He's better known as "Sweet Mickey," a popular kompa singer who enthralled his fans with bad-boy antics on stage. He cursed and swayed with a bottle of Barbancourt rum in his hands and on occasion, mooned his audience.
It's an image that Martelly said he cultivated solely for the stage. Still, it led many to question whether he was fit to run a nation, especially one as beleaguered as Haiti.
Already the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti is reeling from devastation caused by last year's massive earthquake followed by a cholera epidemic later in the year.
A perceived lack of progress prompted Haitians to vote against Jude Celestin, the government-backed candidate. Martelly, they said, was a fresh face in politics, untainted by the corruption that has marred many a presidency in Haiti.
"To Haitians, particularly the legions of young and jobless, Martelly is an outsider who can bring change to Haiti," longtime Haiti observer Jocelyn McCalla said on Twitter.
Martelly's victory falls in line with the signal the Haitian people have been sending for a while, said Garry Pierre-Pierre, editor and publisher of the New York-based newspaper The Haitian Times. "They don't want the establishment. They don't want the status quo," he said.
On the streets of Port-au-Prince, thousands turned out to chant one of his most popular nicknames: "Tet Kale," which means bald head in Creole. Haitians, especially the youth, were starving for a fresh face. And they got it Monday when the election council announced preliminary results.
Martelly won by a landslide with 67.6% of the vote, soundly defeating his challenger, former first lady Mirlande Manigat, who received 31.5%.
Pierre-Pierre called Martelly's campaign impressive. He came out of nowhere and stunned established politicians with his strong showing in November.
"This was a man who could move millions with a microphone," Pierre-Pierre said.It was just before Christmas when Michel Martelly mulled over events in his troubled... more
