Yet another poll shows Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) trailing his Republican opponent, former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, in this year’s gubernatorial election.
The new numbers from Fairleigh Dickinson: Christie 45%, Corzine 39%, with a ±3.5% margin of error. It could be worse for Corzine — most other polls have put Christie ahead by double-digits.
Corzine’s approval rating is only 36%, to 49% disapproval. By contrast, Christie’s favorability number is 47%, to only 25% unfavorable. The big question is whether Corzine will be able, as many Democrats in New Jersey before him, to reverse Christie’s positives through sufficient attacks on his conservatism and the national GOP between now and November.
