Washington (CNN)Chris Christie is running in fourth place in his home state of New Jersey -- and voters there say their governor should drop out of the Republican presidential race and come home, a new poll shows.
A Quinnipiac University survey of Garden State Republicans found that Donald Trump is the front-runner in the state, with 31% support compared to Ben Carson at 16% and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 15%.
Christie is running fourth with 8% support, just ahead of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 7%. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina tied at 4%, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich got 3% and no other candidate topped 1%.
The news comes days after Fox Business Network -- citing recent polls -- decided to exclude Christie from the main stage of its Tuesday night debate, the fourth of the GOP presidential nominating process. ............................
