Forrester gaining ground on Corzine Closing the GapThe race for governor has gotten closer, with one new poll showing that Republican Doug Forrester has diminished Democrat Jon Corzine's lead to four percentage points. Corzine's advantage over Forrester among likely voters was 48 percent to 44 percent in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, or just outside the margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. Corzine's lead in the poll has shrunk from 10 points in early August.
