Did we overestimate the negative impact Bridge-gate would have on Chris Chrstie? [View all]

As a new CNN poll finds that Christie is ahead of Clinton 48%-46% in a hypothetical election match-up, is it safe to say that it will take more than allegations of conspiracy to bring this guy down?

I believe Christie will go down if we focus on what brought Romney down: His support for the rich vs. the poor.
