Here are the 5 most and least popular governors in America, according to their constituents

The poll surveyed over 85,000 registered voters about their governors between January and March 2017.



Chris Christie, the embattled New Jersey Republican, is the country's most unpopular governor, according to a new poll of his constituents.

Seventy-one percent of New Jersey voters polled disapprove of the job Christie is doing, while just 25% approve. Christie, whose term is up at the end of the year, has faced dismal job approval ratings for many months, but they reached a new low after two of his former aides were convicted last fall in the "Bridgegate" lane closure scandal.

The country's most popular governors include Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, Larry Hogan of Maryland, and Phil Scott of Vermont — all Republicans in traditionally Democratic states.
