Did Gov. Chris Christie gave a bigger boost to himself than to presidential hopeful Mitt Romney with his speech at the Republican National Convention? According to registered New Jersey voters who took place in a recent poll, yes, he did. Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind reports that 58 percent of registered voters with knowledge of the speech believe he was more successful at selling himself to the American public than advocating the Romney/Ryan ticket. According to the poll's results, only 23 percent said the speech was more effective at helping to convince the electorate to support Romney. “Governor Christie’s speech was seen or heard by a national audience, many of whom were being introduced to the governor for the first …

Our Republican governor gets good marks from the Garden State, but so does our Democratic president, according to the latest poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind. Barack Obama also has a solid lead over Mitt Romney in New Jersey, according to the poll — especially among women. Read the full statement from FDU below, then take our own poll to let us know what you think?

The stats aren't great, but they're better than they have been. FDU's latest poll finds New Jerseyans at least a bit more optimistic about the economy than they have been when asked the same questions in the past. Still, 41 percent say they're worse off than they were a year ago—and only 32 percent say they're better off. But on some level, that's good news — when people were asked in 2011 how they were doing compared to 2010, the figures were even more discouraging. That trend follows throughout the poll—answers are sounding like "not great" where they used to sound more like "pretty awful." So, there's progress. Read FDU's full statement on its poll below, and take our Patch poll at the bottom of this post: According to the quarterly …

Headed into his annual State of the State address, New Jersey’s governor continues to turn in strong public approval numbers, according to the latest recent statewide poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind. According to the FDU poll, 53 percent of Garden State voters approve of the job Chris Christie is doing as governor, while 37 percent disapprove, a net advantage of 16 percentage points and virtually identical to his standing a year ago before his 2011 State of the State address. “That’s the way any office-holder wants to begin the new year,” said Peter Woolley, director of the poll. “But in this economic climate, many aren’t.” Even the recent toll hikes do not make a dent in the governor’s standing. Households that pay …

Garden State residents appear to prefer food that is "Jersey Fresh" when making their purchases. According to a recent poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind, more than nine in 10 New Jerseyans–94 percent, to be exact–say it is "very important" or "somewhat important" to buy locally grown fruits and vegetables when they are in season. Also, the percentage of individuals who have purchased Jersey Fresh produce from a farm stand or farmers market in the past three months was 87 percent, greater than the 83 percent who had purchased Jersey Fresh produce in a similar time frame in 2010. Nine in 10 residents say they'd like to see more NJ fruits and vegetables served with public meals, which is greater than the 85 percent reported…
