New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's approval rating continues to soar in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday finds Christie with a 74 percent approval rating in the state—the highest rating Quinnipiac has found in 17 years of polling on New Jersey governors. And in a boon for Christie's bid for a second term, 71 percent of voters say the governor deserves to be re-elected this November.
