"I plan to appoint Gov Corzine as the gerontology czar."

Republican and former federal prosecutor Chris Christie has a double-digit edge over incumbent New Jersey Sen. Jon Corzine in the latest Quinnipiac poll out today.
In the polling outfit’s first measure of likely voters in the November race, Christie leads 50%-40% as Corzine is facing his lowest ever approval ratings.
A majority, 56%, say they disapprove of the job the governor is doing while 36% approve. It’s a notch lower than his 54%-38% rating in late May.
Christie has more support within his own party ranks, with 88% of Republicans saying that are backing him while just 73% of Democrats say they are backing Corzine. Christie also has a notable 56%-32% lead among the state’s independent voters.

This looks like a job for.. ACORN !!!
the dead weren’t polled.
Sadly, in New Jersey, a ten point lead guarantees your defeat!
So true. How funny that Republicans always poll well until election night...
Well, Christie isn’t QUITE as liberal as Corzine.
Doug Forrester led Torricelli by 14 pts. He lost to Lautenberg by 10. New Jersey polls change a lot on the way to election day.
NJ ping
Thanks. I still want out of NJ...
But those “real housewives,” are there!
This is an important governorship.
You can never tell when one of NJ’s dinosaur senators will keel over dead or be imprisoned.
Still time for the liberal Kool Aid to kick in.
"I plan to appoint Gov Corzine as the gerontology czar."
LMAO!!
Corzine has anywhere from a 36% to 42% approval rating, not 56%:

He’s despised even by many of his fellow dems, and he’s losing by 24 points with Indies in the Qunicy poll. This is very similar to Forrester vs Torricelli, the dems may try to dump Corzine and replace him with Cody who would probably win. The only way Christie wins is if Corzine stays in the race and remains very unpopular, and with the direction of the economy, coupled with Corzine’s broken promises, increased taxes, increased spending and increased debt I’d say the challenger looks good. Rasmussen has Christie up 11, and in Quincy he’s up 10, he also breaks 50% in both polls, that’s bad for Corzine.
Christie is up 13 in Rasmussen. However it points out that voters think Corzine is almost as likely to win the election due to NJ’s voting history.
Sorry for the mistake. Rasmussen also makes a very clear point about Corzine’s extremely weak numbers and how they represent Christie’s best chance. The incumbent’s numbers are bad across the board, especially with Indies.
“Christie’s biggest advantage may be Corzine’s negatives. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of voters statewide have a Very Unfavorable view of their governor. Just 12% are that negative about the GOP challenger. It is very difficult for an incumbent to bring down his own negative ratings during a campaign so it is likely the Corzine campaign will try to increase Christie’s negatives.
“By a 48% to 33% margin, voters say they trust Christie more than Corzine on taxes. The gap is a bit wider on the topic of cutting government spending—50% trust Christie more while 27% trust Corzine. By a 55% to 28% margin, Christie is seen as the candidate most likely to cut down on government corruption. New polling shows that government corruption and ethics reform is the top issue for unaffiliated voters nationwide.”
New Jersey is hopeless, owned and operated by the education mafia (and probably the regular mafia, too).
Corzine wins handily.
Bookmarked.
