Poll Shows Bruce Springsteen Could Be New Jersey Governor

Americans once again displayed their love for a winner by indicating in a recent poll that ‘The Boss,’ Bruce Springsteen, 61, would be hot favorite to become governor of New Jersey if he ran for the job.

The musician was added to a Public Policy Polling survey “for fun” and tied with current governor Chris Christie, receiving 42% of the vote.

A sample of 480 New Jersey residents took part in the poll.

“Springsteen has favourability numbers any politician would die for. 50% of voters see him positively to only 22% with an unfavourable opinion,” a post on the organization’s blog reads.

“He has favourable numbers across party lines although perhaps because of his well known politics he’s seen a good deal more positively by Democrats… than Republicans.”

Springsteen also attracted the highest approval ratings in the survey, beating five local politicians including Christie. 50% of those polled saying that they had a positive impression of him.

63% of Democrats rated the 61-year-old positively compared to 38% of Republicans.

Springsteen said in early 2009 that he thought G.W. Bush’s term as president was a “nightmare” and that “terrible things occurred” while he was in charge of the White House.   The rocker also encouraged his fellow Americans to vote for Barack Obama in 2008.
