Corzine Takes Five Point Lead
A new Quinnipiac poll in New Jersey finds Gov. Jon Corzine leading challenger Chris Christie (R) for the first time in five months, 43% to 38% among likely voters. Independent candidate Christopher Daggett has 13%, with 5 percent undecided.
Two weeks ago the group’s survey had Christie ahead by one point.
Said pollster Maurice Carroll: “You could see it coming. Gov. Jon Corzine’s numbers crept steadily up and Christopher Christie’s steadily shrank and now, for the first time, we have Corzine ahead. But don’t be in a hurry to mark this election as over. Christopher Daggett changed it from ‘ABC’ - Anybody But Corzine - to a real three-way scrap. But a lot of Daggett’s voters say they might change their minds by Election Day. Where will they go?”
