Gov. Jon Corzine leads Christopher Christie 42%-33% among likely voters, with 7% for Christopher Daggett, according to a Suffolk University poll released today.  Nine other independent candidates were included in the poll, with Jason Cullen, Alvin Lindsay and Gary Steele each receiving 1% of the vote.

"Independent Chris Daggett struggles to be found on the ballot, which benefits Jon Corzine, whose campaign is peaking at the right time for him," said David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University in Boston.  "The poll tells us that voters believe Corzine is the best choice of the twelve candidates and the most comfortable choice of the major three.  The bottom line is that, if this trend holds, it will be an amazing comeback for Jon Corzine."

Corzine has favorables of 45%-46%, while Christie is at 34%-46%.  Daggett has favorables of 20%-20%.

The Suffolk University statewide poll was conducted October 2-29 with a sample size of 400 and has a margin of error of +/- 5%.
