Quinnipiac: Corzine's approvals plummet; voters hate toll hikes
By EditorGov. Jon Corzine’s has an upside-down approval rating of 37%-52%, down from 46%--43% in December, and 73% of voters oppose his plan to raise tolls, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released this morning.
“Gov. Corzine’s toll hike proposal has smashed into a brick wall of massive voter opposition, causing his approval rating to drop from a three-point positive to a 15-point negative,” said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “Even those who don’t drive on the toll roads don’t want toll hikes. Voter anger is so strong that less than a third think the Governor deserves re-election. Corzine’s problems are just made worse by the fact that two thirds of the voters are dissatisfied with the way things are going in New Jersey today,”
More than half of the New Jersey voters surveyed (51%) say that Corzine does not deserve to be re-elected next year, and just 32% says he should serve as second term. Voters split 35%-33% on their desire to vote for Corzine or an unnamed Republican.
Among Democrats, opposition to the toll hikes is at 63%-31%. Corzine’s approvals among Democrats stands at just 53%.

As If No One Could See This Coming!
What is so unremarkable about this is that it should have been obvious to anyone that it would happen. The Governor has rolled out a bomshell program, and has engaged in series of political blunders, including being uncomfortably close in proximity to the outrageously unconstitutional arrest of a potential political opponent in next year's Governor's race -- that is, if Corzine is still around.
Only partially in jest, I noted on another post that,
"the Veep-related Alphonse and Gaston routine Menendez and the Governor were recently engaged in -- "After you, Alphonse.", "No, you first, my dear Gaston!" -- might have contributed to both of them heading south in the personal popularity sweepstakes."
No one could possibly take seriously the suggestion that either one of them could be a running mate to a Senator from the contiguous State of New York -- even if either one of them were qualified!
So it all came off as ethnic politics; i.e., pandering.
But it is very clear that the Governor has thrown in all his chips with Hillary Clinton's race, leading anyone to suspect that he wants out of here. Does he want Treasury?
Right in the midst of a public fire-fight over the economic center piece of his Administration, he goes trotting off to Wisconsin in a quixotic and utterly unsuccessful effort to head off a stinging defeat for the former First Lady in Wisconsin.
What's next for the Gov? A cowboy hat, or a big buckeye button?
by Trochilus
A failed governor.
He did nothing about high property taxes.
He panders to state employees and gives them whatever they want even thought pension costs are bankrupting the state.
His association with Katz has been an embarassment despite the fact the press gives him a pass.
His inability to fix public education or support suburban school districts while he drowns failed urban districts with unlimited funding is disgusting.
His notion that everything needs to be taxed or assigned a fee makes him the most extreme of liberals in a state where high property taxes continue to spiral out of control.
How this man even attempts to run for re-election reminds of the days of Bill Cahill or Jim Florio.
He's surrounded by urban liberals who jave no idea how to govern and look at the legislature with disdain and contempt.
This man will be defeated in the general election. The question is do the Democrats have the guts to dump this guy in a primary?
Corzine's Troubles
The 52% disapproval is very high, it shows broad dissatisfaction rather than apathy. A Republican who can appeal to urban-rim voters, (Christie, Baroni or O'Toole) could defeat him by a strong margin. People have now officially woken up and 2009, not 2007, might be the next 1991.
A great week for Rob Andrews. He beat Lautenberg 3-1 in a nomination poll and Corzine and Lautenberg are both in huge trouble. Someone like him or Cory Booker must be licking their chops.
