With eight days left until the election and most polls showing the New Jersey governor’s race as too close to call, the Suffolk University poll showed Corzine leading 42 percent to 33 percent and places independent candidate Chris Daggett far behind at 7 percent. That is the incumbent’s biggest lead all year, after Corzine spent months trailing Christie, at times by double digits.
Most recent polls have showed the governor’s race at a dead heat, with Daggett’s support as high as 20 percent.
The Suffolk poll — the first by that institution on the 2009 New Jersey governor’s race — is unusual compared with other independent surveys because it included all 12 candidates on the ballot. Most other polls have included just Corzine, Christie and Daggett, who was the only independent candidate to qualify for public matching funds and participate in the debates.
This is a ridiculous poll – If dragnett gets less then 10% – Christie wins. There is no chance of the above happening. This is a huge race for the GOP. I think christie will win
Oh come on corzine just needed a poll that shows he is leading this is a joke there is a reason no others did such a poll couse it has no bearing this is one of thouse put up enoghf names to confuse evryone and get the results you want like give me a break
All the polls released over the weekend and today show Dragnett taking votes from Christie and Corzine pulling ahead. This is an affirmation of his progressive views on the social issues and a secure peace in EY.that are important to jewish voters.
its so sad by the libs just keep winning you can’t stop them. time to wake up america vote no to Obama and all the liberals. there no more money left for them. vote Christie
I think corzine and bloomberg should both GO! They don’t care for reg. Ppl and they think they can buy ooo the votes,, NO NO
This is starting to look like a typical Blue Jersey campaign: Dem behind, then tied, then a winner by a wide margin.
I think corzine and bloomberg should both GO! They don’t care for reg. Ppl and they think they can buy ooo the votes,, NO NO
People of New Jersey: you folks have a great state. I can’t believe you voted for this clown to govern you and destroy your economy. If you vote for him again, you will never recover my respect.
A vote for Corzine is a vote for higher taxes guaranteed
A propaganda poll just as I have feared.
Whereas Rasmussen Reports, a reputable polling agency has just released a poll today: Republican Chris Christie holds a three-point advantage over incumbent Democratic Governor Jon Corzine.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in New Jersey show Christie with 46% of the vote and Corzine with 43%.
Interestingly though, Christie leads by eight points among those who are certain they will show up and vote. A week ago, he was up by five among that group. Christie’s supporters are also less likely to say they might consider voting for someone else.
