The new Monmouth poll shows the New Jersey gubernatorial race tied, with Republican Chris Christie having lost the lead he once held over Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine.
The numbers: Christie 39%, Corzine 39%, and independent Chris Daggett 14%, with a ±3.1% margin of error. Three weeks ago, Christie led by 43%-40%-8%, and he was up by 47%-39%-5% two and a half weeks before that.
The pollster's analysis finds Christie losing Democratic support back to Corzine and even some GOP voters to Daggett, while both candidates have lost independent voters to Daggett: "Democrats who flirted with Chris Christie earlier in the year have come back into the fold. It also looks like some GOP voters may have become disenchanted with their white knight. That's not a good sign for the Republican at this late stage of the game."

I wish we were able to say Deeds from VA was moving in the same direction...
Did anyone see the AP story this morning on how the Virginia race is a "Snapshot of American Attitides". The article has two sentences about NJ adn how Corzine is favored because "it's a democratic-leaning state, and independent Chris Daggett is sucking support from both parties." No mention of the vast unfavorability of Christie.
Then they pull out this Gem...
"Here in Virginia, as well as in the wider U.S., Republican crossover voters and independents are breaking from the Democrats, partly because they're put off by Obama's government expansion and expensive policy proposals like health care"
Evidenced by what the Teabaggers? Nice Job AP.
Nice to see our "Liberal Media" at work...
