Polarizing bear

    As New Jersey governor, Chris Christie is a love ’em or hate ’em kinda guy. A new poll from Rutgers-Eagleton finds 29 percent of voters rate his first year in office as poor, and 11 percent say his first term has been excellent.

    The four-day poll was taken of 906 voters, the Associated Press reports, and finds no other New Jersey governor has been as polarizing since 1974.
