(Zogby).A poll of 1,093 likely New Jersey voters finds incumbent Democratic Governor Jon Corzine leading Republican challenger Chris Christie by one percentage point (40% to 39%) headed into next Tuesday's general election.
Both Corzine and Christie's bases are holding strong with Corzine's support among Democrats at 71%, yet low for an incumbent; while Christie's Republican support is slightly higher at 77%. The survey showed that likely voters who are independent or unaffiliated are more likely to support Christie (39%) than Cozine (26%), even in this traditionally blue state.
"Less than a week from the election, only a third of likely voters (34%) say they would like to see Governor Corzine reelected," said Hughes Center Executive Director Sharon Schulman. "The majority (59%) want someone new, including 30% of likely Democratic voters and 70% of Independents and unaffiliated voters."
