A fresh poll shows that just 26 percent of New Jersey voters approve of the job Gov. Chris Christie is doing, a new low.

But that's not the rough part. The poll, from Fairleigh Dickinson University, found that 49 percent "dislike everything about Gov. Christie."

Now that is harsh. And it can't really be true.

He has a fine family. He likes Bruce. He hasn't raised taxes. So what is really going on?

Our wholly unscientific theory is that his endorsement of Donald Trump triggered an avalanche of revulsion, one that buried the governor so deep that we may never detect a political heartbeat again.

His descent from the heavens started with Bridgegate. It got worse when he ditched us to run for president, then started his feather dance for the fire-breathing base voters, selling his soul by flipping on meaty issues like guns, education, and immigration. Who was this guy?

But the Trump endorsement was the kick in the gut. Weeks before that Christie called the Donald a "carnival barker," said the ban on Muslims was "ridiculous," and that building a mega-fence at the Mexican border "makes no sense."

And yet there he was a few weeks later, standing behind Trump, pushing this same man as president. Amid the shock and awe of this tawdry 2016 campaign, this stunt was the most self-serving and phony of them all. Even those with sturdy stomachs had to gag.

Christie is now managing Trump's transition, a big job that ensures he won't be spending much time earning his salary.

Please, governor, resign. As we've said before, you don't have the credibility to be an effective leader anymore. And you're not even really trying.
