Five months after Gov. James McGreevey left office in disgrace, a new public opinion poll shows that 49 percent of New Jerseyans would consider voting for him in a future election.
The poll by Zogby International was commissioned by the gay rights advocacy group Garden State Equality to measure public support for gay marriage (which remains at 55 percent statewide). The group piggy-backed the McGreevey question onto the poll, largely in an effort to test electoral support for gay and lesbian candidates.

Hmmmm. With that kind of margin of error the headline could have just as easily read: "Poll shock: Majority of Voters Would Not Back McGreevey Nearly 53% would not consider voting for him again"
Move along. No bias here.
The homosexual spin and the compliant media made it work out quite well for McGreevy. The media has conveniently allowed those polled to forget that McGreevy resigned, not so much because of his homosexuality, but because he appointed his totally unqualified lover (he was a tour guide in Israel and a poet) as New Jersey's anti terrorism czar making a six figure salary. He did not even qualify to receive classified information or be briefed by the FBI. Oh yeah, almost forgot about the lawsuit threat as well.
Seems the NJ crowd has little more care for morals than the DC crowd who reelected Marion Barry.
He resigned because he was very close to being indicted in the "Machiavelli" campaign donation scandal.
Instead of leaving the Statehouse in cuffs, he preferred to leave in leather.
It's just name recognition. Same way some Kennedy gets elected every year.
What do you expect, this is "Juuuusssseeyyy."
51% would vote for Michael Jackson!
If the proverbial gun was to my head, I'd rather be to the back McGravy rather than in front of him.
You can think that if you will.
I on the other hand think the good folk of Mass are just fools.
Sgt Foley: "Ah! Only two things come out of New Jersey Steers and queers."
Plus this shows that McGreevy succeeded getting the public to remember him as leaving office over sex rather than the real reason which was corruption. The reason McGreevy admitted to the affair was to take the public eye off the corruption ball. They strategy as Clinton and with some success.
oh my god, New Jersey, the new Canada?
Ah, but it was even more effective than Clinton because McGreevy is homosexual.
Well, it may be that a poll conducted by fairies in New Jersey was fixed in some way, or it may mean the there are many more mafioso tinkerbells that previously assumed.
Haven't heard much out of Christie's office lately regarding any further investigation. I wonder.
