Gov. Corzine is trailing the leading Republican gubernatorial contender and is barely ahead of the next closest GOP candidate, according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll out today.
Former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie leads Gov. Corzine 41 percent to 32, according to the survey. Corzine leads former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan 36 to 32.
The poll comes as Corzine is contemplating deep budget cuts and tax increases to balance the budget he will present March 10. FDU found that 40 percent of voters approve of Corzine's job performance while 46 percent disapprove.
"The governor is taking his lumps along with the rest of New Jersey," said Peter Woolley, the poll's director.
The poll surveyed 751 registered New Jersey voters and has a 4 percent margin of error.
