Quinnipiac added a new question to it’s April 2011 poll to try to better understand why New Jersey voters feel the way they do toward Governor Chris Christie.
We asked:
What one word best describes your impression of Christopher Christie?
To illustrate registered voters impression of Christopher Christie responses were entered into Wordle, a website that generates a “word cloud” from text provided by the user. The cloud gives greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
NOTE: Based on registered voters: Figures show the number of respondents who offered each response: these numbers are not percentages. This table reports only those words that were mentioned at least five times.
