 All politics at PoliticsNJ.com, New Jersey's Online Political Network
The 34% of New Jersey voters who rate his performance as poor is the worst showing of his presidency in an FDU poll.

If he doesn’t, there’s no telling how much his political stock would plummet.

After the death of Stalin, Georgi Malenkov at first appeared to hold power, but ultimately Khrushchev emerged as the successor, holding by 1958 the highest posts in both the party and government—first secretary of the party and chairman of the council of ministers.

The subsequent campaign of de-Stalinization reached a climax at the 22d party congress in 1961, and Stalin's body was removed from its place of honor in a mausoleum in Red Square.
