New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, is trailing GOP front-runner former Republican U.S. Attorney Chris Christie in two polls out today.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll, Corzine is trailing Christie, 45%-38% in a head to head match-up. While Corzine ties at 41% with Steve Lonegan, former mayor of Bogota, N.J. (pop. 8,200).
Further, voters disapprove of Corzine 54%-37%–the highest disapproval ever recorded for a Garden State governor.
A Strategic Vision poll similarly registered a 54%-36% disapproval rating for the governor. Corzine also trails Christie in a head to head match-up, 47%-36%, although the governor leads Lonegon, 44%-39%.
The primary is June 2 for this November’s gubernatorial election.
Corzine is not the only Democratic governor in the region with flagging poll numbers. A Siena College poll out Monday showed New York Gov. David Paterson with a 63% disapproval rate, while just 27% viewed him favorably.

It looks like it’s time for ACORN to put their 2 billion dollar “stimulus” to work.
Son of Sam could be Paterson.
Correction - Son of Sam could beat Paterson.
Steve Lonigan is the only Republican worth supporting.
Christie is another Christie Todd Whitman .... in other words, a liberal Democrat in the pathetic mold of Arnold Schwartzenegger.
If Corzine loses this fall, then there will be huge pressure for Patterson to retire and let Cuomo run. Ditto for MA Governor, Deval Patrick. If such scenerios happen, the Obama era will cause 2 black governors to be removed by party officials. Ironic.
I don’t live in NJ. But one thing I know about the state is that Dems don’t allow loses to Republicans, no matter what. I don’t count Whitman, given what a disgusting POS she is.
Don’t get your hopes up. We see those sort of polls every election cycle in New Jersey and they never materialize on Election Day.
“Christie is another Christie Todd Whitman”
You mean Christie Todd Witless?
I think it’s way past time for the animal known as the RINO to become extinct.
I thought that Cuomo said he was running for Atty Gen again? A white guy running against an incumbent black man is a no-no in the Democrat Party.
The Quinnipiac University poll released its finding on Patterson. If highlighted Patterson’s declining rating even among blacks. The poll analysis was written as if it was urging Patterson to retire and telling NY Dems that its okay to primary Patterson.
In order to make Patterson leave, the Dems will have Al Sharpton or even Obama publicly criticize him. Remember Obama did say he’ll call out big city mayors who waste the stimulus money. Obama could “call” out Patterson. This way Obama looks bi-partisan and Cuomo will have political cover to run for Governor.
How do we turn Obama into David Dinkins II? (or is he already succeeding?)

Do you have evidence of this? Links?
Irrelevant. Cuomo will be the Gov. nominee, and he beats Rudy by 17% right now.
acorn got 4.2 billion, not 2.
Despite these current poll results, I think that Lonegan (the more conservative) would do better than the RINOish Christie vs. Corzine in November.
Michael Barone on the Rasmussen polling
“Given that this generic ballot question over the years has tended to understate Republicans’ performances in actual elections, one gathers that if the 2010 election for House seats were held today, Republicans would win or come close to winning a majority of seats—which is to say, they would gain about 40 seats. By way of comparison, they gained 52 seats when they won their majority in 1994. This result may just be a momentary blip, which will pass away as quickly as it appeared, and we are a long, long, long way from the November 2010 elections. But if I were a Democratic member of Congress in even a marginally marginal district, I would be just a little bit worried.”
Should be 2010, not 2012.
