It's 46–40–7% if you include Daggett in the mix.

It's going to close up a bit as we approach election day. A good portion of the undecided voters are minorities who will end up voting for Corzine.

Christie will probably win but only by a few points, esp. if there is a third-party candidate.

It would seem that the three-way numbers are more relevant, seeing as how Daggett is on the ballot, has some money, and will be in the debates.

Sometime talk to me about interesting when Christie drops below 50%.  It was also probable that the few undecideds broke toward Corzine, or that he sure up some Democratic support.  But Christie fails to dip below 50% and Corzine was trailing heavily in his own internal

Third-party candidates traditionally overpoll when you ask about them specifically in a question. The much better way would be for the person being polled to volunteer that they are voting third party.

Closing finally? Hmm.

PS: All movement in this poll, if you check the internals, was amongst the Democratic party.  Corzine has solidified that "base" but made absolutely no progress (literally—the numbers are almost exactly the same) with Republicans or independents.

I would consider coalescing the Democratic vote in NJ a form of progress.
