Christie ahead 50% to 36%
Voters downcast about New Jersey's economic picture appear willing to take a chance on a gubernatorial candidate with limited background in fiscal management, according to a Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey statewide poll released today.GOP hopeful Chris Christie widened his lead to 14 percentage points over Democratic Gov. Jon S. Corzine. Christie leads 50 percent to 36 percent among likely voters. Last month, the results were 45 percent to 37 percent. The election is Nov. 3. Independent Chris Daggett weighed in at 4 percent. Christie, the former U.S. attorney for New Jersey, led Corzine in areas of key concern, including property taxes and the state budget. Likely voters polled said that the Republican, by a margin of 50 percent to 28 percent, would do a better job on property taxes than Corzine. Those polled also said Christie would do a better job managing the state budget, 50 percent to 30 percent. Posted by: Fred 2009-08-05 |
