The general public just doesn't understand what police, fire, and ems professionals see, deal with… more ›

Of course, the gas stations that have the cheapest gas are the ones that are going to have the most cars. For example, the Delta's on Rte 46 are usually the cheapest and can get pretty busy. It could take you 15 minutes or more to fuel up depending on how many cars are waiting in line. A self serve island would certainly speed things up. What annoys me most about this is that the people who don't… more ›

Favorable rating remains unchanged from October.
Headed into his annual State of the State address, New Jersey’s governor continues to turn in strong public approval numbers, according to the latest recent statewide poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind. According to the FDU poll, 53 percent of Garden State voters approve of the job Chris Christie is doing as governor, while 37 percent disapprove, a net advantage of 16 percentage points and virtually identical to his standing a year ago before his 2011 State of the State address. “That’s the way any office-holder wants to begin the new year,” said Peter Woolley, director of the poll. “But in this economic climate, many aren’t.” Even the recent toll hikes do not make a dent in the governor’s standing.

It seems New Jersey's keen on Obama. The latest poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind says the president's seen an 8-point bump since the organization surveyed voters in April.
