Up For Reelection, Poll Shows Public Evenly Divided On Christie's Handling of Same-Sex Marriage

After Governor Chris Christie vetoed legislation passed by the New Jersey Legislature to approve same-sex marriage last year, a poll shows he is getting middling reviews on his handling of the issue. Thirty percent think Christie has been above average in handling the issue and 31 percent think he has been below average on the issue.  The governor is up for reelection and leading in the polls. The Asbury Park Press reports proponents of same-sex marriage are trying to pass legislation to override taking the same-sex marriage issue to a public referendum, which Christie favors.
