Outspoken New Jersey Guv Chris Christie talks about his relationship with President Obama and the president 's feedback to Superstorm Sandy. When inquired about the present politics included, Mr. Christie acknowledged the scenario, but said "when it comes to getting things done, I don't care what party somebody's in.". As his advisers spread out word that Chris Christie will find re-election in 2013, the New Jersey governor 's prospects in his home state have actually never ever looked brighter. A Farleigh Dickinson University poll of Garden State voters launched Monday revealed that 77 percent of respondents accept of his job performance, including 67 percent of the Democrats surveyed. In the previous Farleigh Dickinson poll ( launched in October), simply 26 percent of state Democrats and 56 percent of total voters had actually rated his job performance favorably.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

It's a trouble that comes with being the nation's biggest personal relief agency, and Red Cross officials ' pride in their work is continuously coupled with promises to do much better next time. Says Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern, "We expect people to have high expectations of us... It keeps us on our toes.". The most noteworthy criticism came Thursday from the leading elected official on hard-hit Staten Island. Borough President James Molinaro termed the Red Cross response at that stage a disgrace and advised people not to contribute to it. As of Sunday, however, storm-related donations to the Red Cross had reached $ 85 million.
