Christie leads Corzine by a 51% to 42% margin. That's a 9-point lead for Christie, but a three point "improvement" for the governor over the July Quinnipiac polling results. When Independent Chris Daggett is added to the mix, Christie's lead shrinks to 6% (46%-40%).
The Governor still has some problems to overcome but he seem to be headed in the right direction.
Tom Hester from New Jersey Newsroom has some good commentary and synopsis of the poll:
"Democratic incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine has gained serious ground on Republican challenger Christopher Christie and now trails the former federal prosecutor 46-40 percent in the three-way race for governor, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.
In a poll releases July 14, two days before President Obama appeared before 17,500 people to endorse Corzine at the PNC Arts Center, Christie led the governor 54-20 percent in a three-way race with Daggett garnering 13 percent of likely voters.
The latest poll shows Corzine picked up 20 percent more likely voters in the past four weeks while Christie lost 8 percent and Daggett dropped from 13 percent to 6 percent.
The poll shows likely voters who abandoned Christie and Daggett have switched to Corzine. Potential voters who remain with Daggett, a former Republican, are people who would likely have gone for Christie if the independent was not in the race....."
