Seeing as this is Rasmussen it is probably as accurate as anything. Good to see Christie pulling ahead and at Daggett’s expense going by previous polls. Maybe the people of New Jersey are waking up. Corzine seems stuck at 41%.
I don’t get what Corzine did to piss off NJ voters. I mean, how is he any different than any of the other DEM creeps that get elected in this state?
“Of the voters, those who are Dead and were registered by ACORN were unavailable for this pole, but confidence is high among Democrats that they will turn out in great numbers on election day.”
Thought I’d throw this paragraph in. :-)
What do you know about this, dead?
Do you know if Christie will be getting significant support fron the RNC? He will need a lot of money to counter the impending blasts of negative ads that will be coming from Corzine - Soros and the DNC
I would love to see the Rs elected both in VA and NJ. Possibly put the brakes on the crowd in DC if they want to avoid another ‘94 (which I hope they don’t).
The AC press downplayed Daggett in an article this morning.
Where is poster Paul544 , heloves to post NJ polls ????
Oh forgot ! Thats right its good news for the republican !
Personally, nothing really, just history has a way of repeating itself.
Problem: Undecideds always break for the Democrats in statewide elections in NJ. This has been true of most races since the 1970s (even during the Kean years and Whitman’s second victory against McGreevey), with the exception of Florio versus Whitman.
Corzine’s been stuck between 37 and 41 for months. The wild card is that Daggetts votes are coming by 4 to 3 from Christie. The question is whether those voters “waste” their vote. Christie is going to need more than 4% to make up for fraud.
You gotta watch that dead guy. He has his eye out for Mullah Omar. He’s also a pretty funny writer who lives, or lived once, in NJ.
“Problem: Undecideds always break for the Democrats in statewide elections in NJ.”
I’m not saying that I’m sure that Christie is up by 4% with only 5% undecided, I’m saying that if he *is* up by 4% with only 5% undecided it would take Christie losing votes to Daggett and Corzine gaining votes from Daggett to allow Corzine to pull off the upset.
The big story here is Daggett at 9% as opposed to 14% or so as he has been in other polls. Corzine has been stuck at 41% or 42% in just about every poll over the past month, and the only reason the race got closer was because Daggett was taking votes from Christie.
I will go out on a limb and predict that if Daggett gets 14% or more on Election Day Corzine will win, that if Daggett gets 12% or 13% it could go either way, and if Daggett gets 11% or less Christie will win.
“...with the exception of Florio versus Whitman.”
This is exactly why a majority of undecided voters will break for Christie. They broke for Whitman in 1993 because Flim Flam Florio was extremely unpopular, it had very little to do with her policies and proposals. Christie will win this race because a clear majority of NJ voters despise Corzine, I mean they really loathe him, just like they despised Florio 16 years ago.
There are multiple lukers on this site who constantly tell us how “depressed” or “down” they are. They think we don’t know what they’re up to, but we do. They’re probably sitting in cubicles at the DNC right now.
We’re going to screw this up. I just heard on FOX that there’s an independent who has garnered 14% of the vote in the polls? If that’s the case, Corzine will win. We can never NOT screw things up....ENOUGH. Will someone in New Jersey explain this to me, please.

“If that’s the case, Corzine will win. We can never NOT screw things up....ENOUGH.”
Of course, Corzine is going to win, and my prediction is by 6-8%. I don’t think it’s a matter (this time) of GOPers “screwing it up.” Though they’re fond of feigning a move away from the dems during campaigns, the majority of Jersey voters will, at the end of the day, vote “D” reflexively.
My theory about voters in NJ is this (could also apply in PA, NY, IL, CA, etc):
They’re not stupid; just culturally conditioned. They know Corzine is a disaster, but he represents that which they’ve grown to crave: the smothering, big-government statist largesse they feel somehow nourishes and sustains them. Having to face the world without it is frightening to them, analogous to a beaten wife who keeps going back to her abusive husband. She hates her life, but has been convinced she can’t make it on her own.
Jersey is now what the Left wants the rest of the country to be: dependent upon and submissive to the supremacy of big government. The Left invested many years of infiltrating the educational system and their efforts have paid dividends there.
Though I’d REALLY like them to prove me wrong in November.. they won’t.
Daggett will never get 14%, it’s not going to happen, he’ll probably end up with 6% - 10% which will insure a Christie win. Additionally Christie is now starting to attack Daggett, and he will increase his attacks as the campaign enters the home stretch.
