With one day to go before the closely watched New Jersey governor’s race, Republican challenger Chris Christie has taken a slight lead over Gov. Jon Corzine in two new polls released this morning.
Christie, a former US attorney, led Corzine by six points, 47 percent to the Democrat’s 41 percent, according to a Public Policy Polling survey of almost 1000 Garden State voters.
Independent candidate Chris Dagger racks up 11 percent of the vote in the PPP survey.
The Quinnipiac poll shows a much tighter race, with Christie leading by a mere two points, which is within the poll’s 2.5 percent margin of error.
In that poll, Daggett has 12 percent of the vote, with six percent still undecided.

C’mon New Jersey voters. Vote for Christie and help fire the first volleys of the new revolution.
This is promising. Republicans seem to have last-minute momentum going in this and other races.
“Dagger” ?
I fear a close result will end up in an eventual win for Corzine, much in the way Gregoire and Franken “won” in Wash. and Minn.
On a semi-related note, I caught Hannity’s show with Frank Luntz and a bunch of NJ voters. Good lord, no wonder the race is so close. With a few notable exceptions, these were the most economically illiterate folks I’d ever seen.
(No offense whatsoever intended to Jersey FReepers, btw. I’m sure there’s lots of smart folks in the Garden State...they just didn’t put any of them on Hannity’s show).
does New Jersey have congressional districts that surround college campuses and prisons....look at Lois Capps in Santa Barbara.... Her voters are on bikes and locked up.
Was that misspelling accidentally on purpose?
Corzine's handlers have now admitted to running ads for Daggett. If they could only persuade people that Daggett is a spoiler and that they should vote for Christie if they want to get rid of Corzine, we'd be way over the top.
There’s also a SurveyUSA poll showing Christie up 5, and a Monmouth poll showing Corzine up 2.
