Chris Christie enjoyed a surge in support Friday as a second straight New Hampshire poll showed him gaining ground with voters after he announced his 2024 presidential campaign by fiercely attacking former President Donald Trump.
Christie scored 9% support in the poll of the first-in-the-nation Republican primary state — within striking distance of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who drew just 13% and has slumped in recent polls.
The former New Jersey governor has apparently grabbed support from DeSantis as well as from some Granite State voters who planned to back favorite son Gov. Chris Sununu, who has decided not to run.
