Poll: Corzine, Christie tied in N.J. governor’s race
Published: October 20, 2009
TRENTON, N.J. — In another indication that the New Jersey governor’s race will go down to the wire, a new poll finds Gov. Jon Corzine and Republican Chris Christie tied among likely voters at 39 percent each.
The Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll released Tuesday, two weeks before Election Day, has independent Chris Daggett polling at 14 percent.
Poll director Patrick Murray says the latest poll indicates weakening support for Christie, a former federal prosecutor. A Monmouth/Gannett poll released in early August had Christie up by 14 percentage points over the Democratic incumbent.
The telephone poll of 1,004 likely voters was taken Oct. 15-18 and has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Virginia and New Jersey are the only states electing governors this year.

This race is close? You have got to be kidding? This should be a landslide for Christie. I have confidence that the crooked system in place in NJ will produce crooked results.
Now this race is up to the head of the RNC to get Daggett, a registered Republican before the race, to fold his bid. Daggett is taking Christie’s votes according to the polls. Daggett has no hope at this point. He needs to save New Jersey from four more years of tax increases and mismanagement from Corzine by getting out of the way.
If he’s smart he can step aside now and get a place in Christie’s administration where he can take care of the problems he sees. If he’s dumb he’ll stay in, let Corzine win and get no chance to fix the problems.
Liberals control the information coming out of NJ and the polls. It is interesting the poll manipulators would admit there is a dead heat. The MO of manipulating pollsters and the media is to discourage Conservatives and Republicans from turning out.
One thing not considered in the NJ numbers are the vans that ride around to homeless shelters in Phila and NYC. They pick up the homeless, transport them from precinct to precinct in NJ and provide them with a name(s) (usually a deceased voter). Poll workers are barred in NJ from asking for an ID. The homeless are rewarded with a free lunch and a free ride “home”. These junkets are funded by labor unions and radical groups like ACORN with money filtered to them from the DNC.
