After two terms in office, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will give his final State of the State address Tuesday.

Last year, Christie's approval ratings dipped to 15 percent, the lowest ever for any New Jersey governor. Among the key criticisms were that his administration pulled the plug on a much needed train tunnel under the Hudson and ignored the threats of rising sea levels when building back after Sandy; and that Christie himself abandoned the state during his second term to run for president. 

But if recent exit interviews are any indication, Tuesday's address might still be triumphant. Christie will likely mention obtaining federal funding after Sandy by fighting the Republican Party; capping property tax growth; pension fund reform that forced public employees to pay more into their retirement; fighting opioid addiction; and making changes to the bail system, which have kept people charged with non-violent crimes who can't afford bail out of jail

Christie will hand over the reins to governor-elect Phil Murphy next Jan. 16.
