Poll: Christie's lead slips 10 points

As we get closer to September people are beginning to pay more attention to Chris Christie and his bid for reelection. According to a new poll released today by Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll, Christie's perceived lead in the race has dropped by 10% from where it was in a similar poll conducted in June.

Christie now leads Barbara Buono among likely voters, 56 percent to 36 percent.  The difference being  36 percent of Democrats backed Christie two months ago, compared with 21 percent now.

I fully expect that as November gets even closer, Democratic support for Christie will drop further and Buono will gain support among Independents to make this a real horse race.
