Raleigh, N.C. – Public Policy Polling’s monthly look at the race for Governor of New
Jersey finds Republican Chris Christie leading incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine 50-36.
That 14 point lead is up from 10 at the end of June.

Christie has a 54-26 lead among independents, and holds Corzine to just 64% of the
Democratic vote, while receiving 86% from within his own party.

Attack ads running against each candidate right now don’t seem to be having much of an
impact on how voters view either of them. 42% have a favorable opinion of Chris
Christie with 32% seeing him negatively. That’s virtually unchanged from a month ago
when the spread was 43/33. Corzine’s spread is 33/56, also pretty similar to his previous
36/56 number.

PPP surveyed 552 New Jersey voters from July 24th to 27th. The survey’s margin of error
is +/-4.2%.

Christie............................................................ 50%
Corzine ........................................................... 36%
