Corzine gaining among voters who like Obama
By Wally EdgePresident Barack Obama has a 52%-35% approval rating in New Jersey, according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll. But by a 44%-33% margin, New Jerseyans believe they would be worse off under Obama's health care reform proposal.
Gov. Jon Corzine, who is in a statistical dead heat with Republican Christopher Christie, according to portions of the FDU poll released earlier this week, is increasing his support among Obama supporters. Corzine gets 72% of those who approve of Obama's job performance, up from 66% last month.

And so it goes
The Michelin Man is going down - not because Corzine is that good, but because the Michelin Man is just that bad.
While a show about nothing made for a funny couple of Seinfeld episodes, it makes for a pathetic campaign and now The Chris Christie Show is reaping the poor ratings.
It'll be canceled on November 3.
The New Jerseyans who love Obama and Corzine
are symptomatic of all that is wrong with New Jersey. New Jerseyans are the highest taxed people in the U.S. The New Jerseyans who love big government and love paying those taxes are not real Americans. They are deserving of a tyrany such as a Soviet Russia or Castro's Cuba. They believe in big government , they think big government has the answer to all their problems. They want maximum state power. This is the antithesis of freedom and liberty. They actually look to the federal government for hope. In doing so they reveal their abject hopelessness. They deserve the jackboot of the dictator, not the freedom and liberty that is the hallmark of an American.
A corrupt people
beget corrupt leaders. New Jersey: most of your society is a lunatic society.
OBAMA SUPPORTERS SUPPORT CHRISTIE AS WELL!!
Barack Obama supporters are supporting Chris Christie as well. They want true change in the State of NJ. Just like when Obama ran his campaign and his title was " CHANGE", that's what people see in Christie. He will bring true change to NJ as well. I feel Obama & Biden may not even want to support Corzine but they are only doing it because it's their party-Democrats. Many Democrats, Republicans, & Independents support Christie. Christie covers all issues in NJ in his campaign from TAXES to HEALTHCARE to EDUCATION to HELPING URBAN AREAS/CITIES and more. CHRISTOPHER CHRISTIE IS THE TRUE CHANGE NJ NEEDS. CORZINE CLOSED HOSPITALS, TOOK FUNDING AWAY FROM PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES SUCH AS RUTGERS AND MORE. Chrisite for NJ GOV.
