| Christie has staked his entire campaign on winning New Hampshire's centrist voters. |
NEW HAMPSHIRE - It has been a very, very good weekend for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in the early primary state of New Hampshire.
Starting off on the right foot Friday morning, 90.9 WBUR released a new poll that found the two-term incumbent is not only the third most popular Republican running in the state, but that he has surged to second place among the state's GOP voters.
Although Christie's 12% still trails real estate mogul Donald Trump's 27% in support, it shows the lasting power of the tough talking executive, who has more or less staked his entire campaign on winning the state's fiercely independent electorate.
Continuing the momentum on Sunday, CNN announced on its weekly morning program State of the Union that Christie - in addition to the struggling Senator Rand Paul - have qualified for the upcoming main stage debate on Tuesday evening.
With his polling numbers declining at the time, Christie had been relegated to the second tier debate on Fox Business last month. His placement back with the rest of the pack shows that momentum, however temporary, is on his side.
