Poll: Corzine losing ground to Christie in governor's race
New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine is losing ground in a public opinion poll.
He could spend $100 million on a re-election and still lose ...
A Quinnipiac University poll out today finds the Democratic incumbent trailing Christopher Christie, the front-runner for the Republican nomination, by 9 percentage points. Corzine trailed Christie in a February poll by 6.

Former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie is widening his lead over Gov. Jon Corzine, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll.The poll has little good news for Corzine: Half of those polled disapproved of the job he's doing even before he unveiled a bad news budget on Tuesday.

Pollster Clay Richards says Christie could gain momentum as more voters find out who he is. Only 44 percent say they're aware he is a former federal prosecutor with a string of political corruption convictions. The telephone poll of 1,386 registered voters taken March 4-9 has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.
