Poll: Christie has six point lead

Republican Christopher Christie has a six point lead over Gov. Jon Corzine, 47%-41%, with independent Christopher Daggett at 11%, according to a new Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey.  PPP is a North Carolina-based Democratic polling firm.

Christie's lead had increased four points last week and one point three weeks ago.  He has a 52%-29% lead among independents.

Corzine's favorables remain upside-down: 34%-57%.  Christie is at 43%-42%. 

"For most of the last three months the election had moved more and more in Jon Corzine's direction but it appears that his momentum stopped about three weeks ago," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. "As Chris Daggett's support started to decline Christie's went back up."

PPP surveyed 994 likely New Jersey voters on October 31 and November 1.  The  margin of error is +/- 3.1%.

GET CHRIS IN!!!!

Submitted by vinmega on November 2, 2009 - 8:42am.

We are voting him in!!! This is no Obama who is our Gov, COrzine has got to go. The more he brings these clueless politicians to NJ, the more we want to see Corzine go back to DC.

The Corzine smear campaignis backfiring.

The mammogram nonsense,the negative TV ads and the underwriting of the Dagget campaign have all been exposed. Lets send Jon Corzine packing.

I hope all you Christie

A better New Jersey starts the moment Chris Christie gets sworn in as our next Governor!

Beat Back Obama

Christie must be elected to send a signal to Washington and the world. The revolution against radical Obama liberalism starts in NJ in 2009!

Christie must be elected or else, as the Home News Tribune stated, "You could flush NJ down the toilet" with Corzine.

Gotta Vote 4 Christie

Submitted by ced821 on November 2, 2009 - 3:49pm.

The only way he'll win is if you go to the polls tomorrow - don't take a chance. It's not in the bag yet. We need to overcome Daggett's votes - a vote for Daggett brings Corzine closer to re-election.
