The new Democracy Corps (D) poll of New Jersey finds Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine with a narrow lead over his Republican opponent Chris Christie, contrary to other polls today that have put Christie ahead.
The numbers: Corzine 41%, Christie 37%, and independent Chris Daggett 15%, with a ±4% margin of error. Last week, Corzine was ahead by 43%-38%-12%.
When Daggett-supporters are pushed to support a major candidate, Corzine is ahead by 47%-41%, which is consistent with other polls that have shown Daggett currently taking more votes away from Corzine than Christie. Third-party candidates often lose significant support on Election Day -- so this race could really turn on how many votes Daggett loses in the voting booth, and how many of those people are Corzine-leaners or Christie-leaners.

Back and forth and back and forth. I am guessing that corzine holds this one. Jersey is so like this. The dems always trail and at the end people vote dem in Jersey. I am sure that NY-23 and the VA fiasco isn't helping christie's chances in Jersy by the way. Anybody following the news with half a brain has to see what is going on with the repuke party and it isn't pretty.
