Corzine Up By 3

Former Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ)

The new Democracy Corps poll out today has Jon Corzine up over Chris Christie by three points.

A few key points to note. This is a Dem poll, though a highly respected one. And earlier Democracy Corps polls of this race have shown a narrower margin for Christie than others.

But with all that said, this adds yet more confirmation of the trend, which has Corzine drawing even or perhaps even pulling a tiny margin ahead of Christie. The poll also suggests that Corzine’s ads hitting Christie on insurance coverage of mammograms may be having a big effect.

Damn Close Update 3:00PM: Another poll has just come out, this one from SurveyUSA. And it has Christie up by 3 points. Beside the topline number, a key take away is that this poll shows a sharp gender gap, which supports the belief that Corzine’s attacks on Christie on the mammogram issue has had some effect.
