New Jersey Governor Chris Christie would tie for second with Sarah Palin should they both make a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, a poll shows.

Christie, who has said he won’t run for president in 2012, and Palin, the 2008 vice presidential nominee, would both trail Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor was the first choice of 27 percent of Republican voters surveyed when Christie and Palin weren’t on the list, according to a PublicMind poll released today by Fairleigh Dickinson University.
