Chris Christie&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-bidens-approval-rating-craters-amid-classified-docs-scandal\/\" title=\"Poll: Biden's Approval Rating Craters Amid Classified Docs Scandal\">poll numbers suggest<\/a> an extremely uphill climb to the GOP nomination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A Morning Consult survey showed Christie with only 1% of support among likely Republican primary voters, far below the top two candidates: former President Donald Trump at 56% and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at 22%. Even more worrying for the governor&#8217;s campaign launch, 39% of those surveyed had an unfavorable view of Christie compared with 30% who had a favorable view. Trump, meanwhile, has an astounding 75% favorability score, further cementing his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-rivals-seize-on-early-stumbles-as-campaign-gets-underway\/\" title=\"DeSantis' opponents capitalize on initial missteps during campaign start.\">front-runner status<\/a> among Republican presidential hopefuls.<\/p>\n<h3>The Challenges Ahead for Christie<\/h3>\n<p>Further complicating Christie: 60% of GOP primary voters heard nothing about the governor in advance of his campaign launch, only 17% heard something positive, while 22% heard something negative. A RealClearPolitics poll aggregate confirmed Christie&#8217;s low approval among primary voters, as the former governor is averaging 1% among several polls, the same as Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH), who announced he wouldn&#8217;t run for president in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Christie is expected to launch a 2024 bid on Tuesday at a town hall at St. Anselm College around 6:30 p.m., but he faces a long haul in defeating Trump or DeSantis for the presidential nomination. Christie will likely run as the only candidate willing to take on Trump aggressively, reminiscent of Christie&#8217;s prior persona as a tell-it-like-it-is lawmaker. His allies have already launched a super PAC to aid Christie in his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>But Christie&#8217;s abrasive attitude toward Trump may explain his unpopularity with many Republicans, a factor that likely plays into other 2024 candidates&#8217; reluctance to criticize Trump.<\/p>\n<h3>The Growing 2024 GOP Field<\/h3>\n<p>The 2024 GOP field continues to grow as former Vice President Mike Pence and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) are also set to launch presidential bids on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Christie faces an uphill battle for the GOP nomination<\/li>\n<li>Only 1% of likely Republican primary voters support Christie<\/li>\n<li>60% of GOP primary voters heard nothing about Christie in advance of his campaign launch<\/li>\n<li>Christie will likely run as the only candidate willing to take on Trump aggressively<\/li>\n<li>The 2024 GOP field continues to grow with Pence and Burgum launching presidential bids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-republicans-like-their-governors-democrats-dont\/\" title=\"Poll: Republicans Like Their Governors.

However, he faces a tough challenge in defeating Trump or DeSantis for the GOP nomination.
