New Poll: Christie Up 9!!

[DownWithTheLeft]

Alright, I am starting to get a little excited

No Jersey candidate (spare Forrester before the switch-aroo) has lead by this much

New FDU Poll shows Christie 41 - Corzine 32

Does anyone know how much money Corzine has lost in the stock market?  I would be willing to guess its substantial

When it comes down to polling in NJ, its basically just an attempt to screw around with Republicans.

I'm inclined to agree and I hate letting myself fall into these traps year after year, but this one seems to be different.  We haven't led by this much in many many years.  Whitman didn't even lead by this much.  I think just this once I'll let myself get excited despite the rule I set for myself not to.

I agree with this, Kean never lead by anything close to this.  For the record FDU nailed Menendez's margin of victory in 2006 and had the exact, EXACT margin of 18 points for Obama.

FDU is a terrible pollster.

I assumed so too, but the facts don't back that up

They nailed, and I mean exactly nailed, 2006 and 2008

For reference, the March polls in Menendez/Kean showed the following:

D+4, R+2, D+5 or an average of D+2.3

Also known as an 11.3% swing from Kean's numbers to Christie's

In case anyone was wondering, Christie already has the line in Essex, Union, Middlesex, Monmouth, Burlington, and Camden Counties.

I believe he has Bergen or near sown it up too

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.  That's probably good for Christie, he doesn't want to have to spend early.  He probably blew all his money on Mickey D's anyway

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
