Corzine Down by 10

Published



A new survey from Quinnipiac:

Democratic incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine is losing the battle of the attack ads in his campaign for reelection and now trails Republican challenger Christopher Christie 47 – 37 percent among likely voters, with 9 percent for independent candidate Christopher Daggett, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. This compares to a 46 – 40 percent Christie lead, with 7 percent for Daggett, in an August 11 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

New Jersey seemed to be slipping away from Republicans as it tends to do around this time of year but Corzine is a particularly atrocious candidate and the environment does seem to be trending Republican. It certainly looks like Christie could pull this off.
