Gov. Chris Christie now has the lowest approval rating of any New Jersey governor in recorded history, and it’s hurting his lieutenant governor’s campaign to replace him, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The Quinnipiac University poll shows Christie’s approval rating among New Jersey voters at just 15 percent, with 81 percent disapproving. Christie’s approval rating is the lowest Quinnipiac found for any governor it measured in any state in more than 20 years.

Christie, a Republican, had already tied former Democratic Gov. Brendan Byrne in a February Quinnipiac poll for the previous state record of 17 percent, which Byrne had set in a 1977 Eagleton poll after enacting New Jersey’s first income tax (Byrne actually won reelection later that year).

The poll is the latest in Christie’s long decline in public opinion after reaching an approval rating in the 70s in aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. That was before the Bridgegate scandal began eroding his popularity, while his increasing time spent out-of-state to prepare a run for president further soured voters on him.
