Yes. Will he? Probably not until he sees that 8% drop to a zero. <br /><br />Let's keep in mind, we are still very early in on this whole process.

The race for POTUS is a marathon not a sprint.<br />- We have not even had one state vote yet. Votes should drive elections not polls.<br />- Absent actual votes, the largest driving factor to stay in or get out of a race is funds. Obviously Governor Christie still has funds that he can spend on his campaign.<br />- "The residents of New Jersey are calling him out". Technically, this can be a minimum of two residents to get from singular to plural. How many residents are calling for Christie to get out and how are they making their desires known? That goes back to point #2 and #3 above. Let's let actual votes and funds drive the process and not potentially made up or fabricated media accounts, polls, or anything else.

Ultimately, you will see a lot more candidates pull out after the first primary. Don't be surprised if he's in that number.
