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 seatswhich 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.
Chris Christie allies and Christie Whitman are calling Lonegan the next Bret Schundler.
