Christie holds lead in two polls

POSTED: Tuesday, September 1, 2009, 7:45 AM

The Associated Press reports:

Two new polls show Republican challenger Chris Christie maintaining a lead in the New Jersey governor's race.

Quinnipiac University poll has Christie leading Gov. Jon Corzine by 10 percentage points, 47-37 percent. That’s roughly the same margin as Quinnipiac polls in July and early August.

A Fairleigh Dickinson University-PublicMind poll has Christie slightly ahead, 47-42 percent — also roughly the same margin as the prior FDU poll released July 1.

The new polls, released Tuesday, follow a barrage of news stories and opposition ads raising questions about Christie's ethics.

The Quinnipiac poll of 1,612 likely voters, taken Aug. 25-30, has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

The FDU poll of 715 likely voters, taken Aug. 24-30, has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Bye bye Corzine. Find another constituency to rape with your veiled tax increases.

Please do not put the tax & spend leftist Corzine back in office. We simply can't afford this limousine liberal anymore.

The Inquirer has been pulling its weight in that barrage raising questions about Christie. Yet little, if nothing, about Corzine. Perhaps some more liberal bias?

So it is suddenly OK for someone to drive an Illegal Unregistered, Uninsured Vehicle? Or is it only OK now when it is a Republican like Christie who was a US Attorney - he's above the law? Why did the cop write "No Deal" on the ticket - even after Christie and his "passenger" his AUSA Michele Brown identified themselves as US Attorneys. Obviously Christie thought his Job should have gotten him a "special deal." That is why the officer wrote "No Deal" - see NJN News reporter followup in link below. - Some Whiny "Man" or husband Christie is - he blames his wife for the Unregistered/Uninsured problem - I guess he was too busy with his political ambitions to take care of his family. http://zacharyfink.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/christie-and-the-traffic-stop/
