New Poll: Christie Up 9!!

[Lunar]

Is there any state more cynical that New Jersey?

1.  Yeah, well, a lot of NJ Democrats don't like their own politicians.
2.  Also, it's very, very important to note that a lot of New Jersey types barely even know their own politicians because New Jersey doesn't have its own media market -- the NYC and Phillie media markets cover the entire state.  Once the election heats up with campaign advertising, then the liberals are reminded why they like liberals.

Mr. Moderate is right in many ways.  I'm always fighting in favor of Corzine because these polls always structurally underestimate his strength.  Christie is also underestimated by a lot of people here.  Corzine will not be able to spend as much tihs time around.

on the other hand, spending in an off-year is even more important than usual

By the way, as far as your vote goes, if President Obama campaigns in New Jersey for Jon Corzine for governor, will it make you more or less likely to vote for Jon Corzine?

More: 25%
Less: 23%
No Impact: 48%

I'm surprised it's not worse for Obama.

I would dare say that Christie winning would be good for both parties down the road.

Well, it'd be bad for the Democrats because it could be spun as very bad news for them, especially considering that they are currently at a disadvantage in the two other big races in 2009, New York City and Virginia (although VA may change, we'll see).

I cannot believe how little attention this race is getting, I don't think I have ever heard one mention of it on the local news.

me? not really, although it'd be amusing to see Corzine win from some of DWTL's earlier crazy comments, as I've said.

News 12 New Jersey?

Ah, my bad (no need for the bold, I remember New Jersey is in New Jersey).

It'd be interested to compare coverage to Virginia, LA, and NYC

The bold was for emphasis

I also have not heard much on NYC since the whole uproar over the term limit removal

I was vaguely involved in some L.A. city council and such races and the only race that matters, the Democratic primary, was last Tuesday.  I don't think it  really made the news, even though all of the competitive elections just happened and everyone who won is essentially [whatever]-elect.
