Voters continue to disapprove of Corzine's job performance in new Quinnipiac poll
By EditorGov. Jon Corzine’s job approval rating continues to be upside down, 38%-52% -- about the same as he was four months ago – according to a Quinnipiac University poll released this morning. Nearly six out of ten voters (57%) disapprove of his handling of the state budget.
Among Democrats, Corzine’s approvals are just 49%-41%. Nearly four out of ten voters (39%) say New Jersey has gotten worse since Corzine became Governor in January 2006.
But most (52%) New Jerseyans say Corzine’s personal e-mail exchange with labor leader Carla Katz should remain private. Just 39% say they should be released to the public. By a 58%-33%, women voters say the e-mails should be kept private.

Ratings are low...
because when he proposed cutting parks and hospitals instead of corrupt program that funnel cash to places like Union City, it pretty much told you everything you need to know about him.
Joke
Quinnipiac is quickly becoming a joke, They phrased the question should personal emails remain private, DUH. The fact is the emails were not private and were directly related to bargaining fo the union contract.
Yeah - let's have a poll
Yeah - let's have a poll based on issues that were going on in the midst of a historic Presidnetial primary. Does anyone actually believe that most people were paying enough attention to state government to form an opinion
Oh please
Jon "No Growth" Corzine is on his fast track out of office with his lousy economic record and lack of vision. I hope some Democrat has the courage to primary this guy.
and the surprise is....
Robbie A to the rescue
Hey votedemsout: Check your facts
"They phrased the question should personal emails remain private, DUH."
Eh, not quite.
Perhaps you should actually read the question in their press release before attacking the wording, DUH.
Surprise, surprise,
Surprise, surprise, surprise! I anyone caught off guard by this?
I Would Love To See a Profoundly Progressive Democrat....
......with creative intelligence and unquestionable integrity "primary" Jon Corzine.
Sadly/obviously "Robbie A" fails on both counts.
Going from Corzine to Andrews would be like going from the frying pan into a hellish inferno.
Even a primary challenger that met the above criteria would have to have access to a minimum of 5 million bucks to (be able to get their message out and) overcome the 20 million Corzine would throw at her/him....and I have no idea who could do that.
As flawed as Corzine is; he still stands head and shoulders ahead of any Republican on the horizon.
So far, it seems that Christie is the "best" thing on the horizon for the Republicans, and he's a joke (at best).
Having said all of that, I still wish that Jon Corzine would declare (bi-partisan) war on all the pay to play machine politics and politicians throughout the state.
If Jon Corzine found it in his heart and soul to manifest the courage to really deal with the core/underlying reasons why New Jersey is in debt, and credibly communicated that to the people of New Jersey; he wouldn't need to spend a single penny of his, or anyone else's, money to be re-elected in a landslide.

Another Stupid State Government Move!
Well, some bonehead in the state decided it would be wise to invest state pension money in a downward spiriling stock called Lehman Brothers (LEH), akin to Bear Stearns. The problem is that the Korean funding source has backed out of loaning them money. The stock has also been devalued by several financial institutions over the past couple of days.
What was invested: $180M
Days Invested: 3
What was the loss: 25-35%
What was the financial loss: $40-60 Million (in 3 days!)
Now, to purchase this stock, was there inside information, false news to reduce the stock further or was this purchase used to defer the losses a bit so some people could cash out? Who knows? It's just that this does not seem to be a responsible business move, especially when the state is already facing financial problems.
