President Obama will be headed to New Jersey later this month, in order to campaign for Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine in his tough re-election fight this year.
The event will be held at the main campus of Rutgers University, on July 16.
Polls have consistently shown that Obama is very popular in this blue state — but Corzine is not, with low approval numbers and higher disapproval ratings. Corzine is currently trailing his Republican opponent, former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, and an appearance alongside the popular Obama could help boost his numbers and remind voters of the importance of voting for the Democratic brand.
