New Jersey Voters Split Between Corzine, Christie (Daggett becoming less of a factor)
Fox News ^ | 11/01/2009

Posted on 11/01/2009 7:06:36 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Two days before the New Jersey gubernatorial election, a new poll shows voters are split just about evenly between Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine and Republican challenger Chris Christie.

The two candidates have been in a dead heat for weeks. The Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey poll showed Christie with a 1-point lead over Corzine, well within the margin of error.

Among likely voters, Christie pulled 43 percent and Corzine pulled 42 percent. The survey also showed Independent Chris Daggett becoming less of a factor, with his support dropping from 14 percent to 8 percent. But the poll data suggests Daggett's supporters are drifting toward Christie.

Corzine is suffering from low approval ratings. The survey showed just 35 percent approve of the job he's doing. Looking to tilt the race, President Obama is heading to New Jersey Sunday to drum up support for the Democratic incumbent.

The poll of 1,041 likely voters was taken Wednesday through Friday. It had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

“Among likely voters, Christie pulled 43 percent and Corzine pulled 42 percent.”

Well within the margin of fraud, Corzine by 2%.

Obama coming to Jersey today to visit Camden and Newark - In other words — zero flying in to shore up the ACORN/SEIU/dead people vote.

If the enslaved people of NJ are stupid enough to re-elect Corzine, it is the electoral equivalent of a Darwin Award!

Beat me to it Grunth.

Christie needs to be up 5 just to stay even with Rat dead voters and ballot boxes pulled out of some one's trunk (or butt).

Easily close enough for Corzine to steal.

And if they can’t steal it on election night, look to the Franken model.

You can be sure that if the vote is close and Christie wins, the RAT communists will make sure Corzine will find lost votes and win. Don't forget, we are now living in communists America. The machine has taken over all voting process in America and will win when necessary. They will let a few slip by, but nothing to change their power.

The Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey poll showed Christie with a 1-point lead over Corzine, well within the margin of error. . . . Corzine is suffering from low approval ratings. The survey showed just 35 percent approve of the job he's doing.

So Christie has only a 1% margin over Corzine even though he has only a 35% favorable rating? N.J. voters deserve to get what they receive. I'd hate to be a conservative there and see your best efforts go to naught because of idiots.

No doubt there will be a lot of $20 bills being distributed in Newark and Camden on Tuesday. “Walking around” money.

or cigarettes, like in CA. And, a promise to have the name of a dead relative entered as a vote (absentee?).

that is a distinct possibility - you should see the ballot - Daggert’s name is buried and hard to find....

Basically, it will come down to this:

Do the Daggett voters hate Corzine or Repubicans more?

I’ve heard from several members of my family ~ tax-paying landowners ~ that they will leave the Garden State if Corzine wins.

Steve Lonegan: A time for choosing (in the NJ Gubernatorial election)

Lonegan is urging all NJ citizens to vote for Christie to send a message to blue dog Democrats and Obama.
