So Christie has a 43-40 edge in the avg of the last 6 polls. Not bad. Combined with Corzine averaging around 40% and still having his huge unfavorables, it doesn’t look good for him. NJ is still hugely dem though, so I wouldn’t rule anything out.
Corzine losing in NJ, especially with Obama going all out for him would be a big deal. It’d be like if the GOP lost a Gov race in Utah or South Carolina with Bush going all out for the incumbent.
This also should put to rest the idea that the GOP needs to move to the center and court independents. You don’t do that. They come to you when they’ve had it with the other guy. Just like they did for Obama last year.
It was easy for him to get independents when Bush was in office. Lets see how he does when there’s 10% or higher unemployment on his watch, huge deficits and debt, surrender in Afghanistan, etc...
The same PPP poll has Obama at only 45% favorable in NJ. Not a good sign.
If all 3 races go to the right, that is a huge deal and I think it really impacts health care. I can’t imagine dems rushing to pass it after some defeats in 3 Obama states(w states he won and a district he won). The longer they wait the better chance of stopping it. Stop it and Obama is done until at least 2011.
Did you see bam and Corzine at that rally today? They looked like two punch drunk boxers holding each others’ arms in the air. Corzine looked afraid to let go. It was obscene.
