Quinnipiac:

DEAD HEAT

The race for the GOP nomination for New Jersey Governor is too close to call, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released this morning showing Doug Forrester at 35% and Bret Schundler at 33%. Four days ago, a Quinnipiac poll had Forrester ahead by eleven points, 40%-29%.

The second horserace is for third place, with John Murphy, Paul DiGaetano and Steve Lonegan all within 2% of each other.

Three out of ten voters (31%) say they could still change their minds, while 69% say their decision is final.

“No candidate in this race has generated great excitement among Republican voters. It now comes down to which contender does the best job of getting his voter's to the polls," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. Doug Forrester clings to the narrowest of leads, but his multi-million dollar advertising blitz has failed to establish the strong lead he hoped for. Bret Schundler, meanwhile, hasn't been able to rise above the 33 percent mark in any of the polls during the primary season."

From May 29 – June 5, Quinnipiac University surveyed 329 New Jersey likely Republican primary voters, with a margin of error of +/- 5.4 percentage points.

New Jersey Republicans should vote for Schundler

Schundler's links to radical Muslim groups should disqualify him from anyone's support. Corzine hangs out with the same crowd. Vote for Forrester and let him bring the cash against Corzine. Schundler hasn't been able to raise squat in the primary, and he would be a limp noodle against Corzine even if he wasn't a Muslim stooge.

The open Senate seat is going to whoever Corzine appoints, if Corzine wins this election.

Bob Menendez, by all accounts.
