Rasmussen NJ-GOV: Christie's Lead Slips

Rasmussen New Jersey Poll conducted 7/7 of 500 LVs:

Without Leaners:

Fmr. US Attorney Chris Christie (R) 46%
Gov. Jon Corzine (D) 39%

With Leaners:

Fmr. US Attorney Chris Christie (R) 53%
Gov. Jon Corzine (D) 41%

Corzine continues to be mired around 40% in just about every poll, but at the same time Christie hasn't been able to strech out his advantage much either and now seems to be polling under 50% again. If I were Christie, I would be a little concerned about the softness of his support-57% view him favorably, but just 12% view him "very favorably," perhaps an indication that people will put up with him but aren't thrilled about having him as Governor. Probabaly the best news in this poll for Christie is that among voters who say they have their minds made up, he leads by 16. But 42% still say they may change their minds, indicating a race that still has a long way to go.

SLIGHT ADVANTAGE FOR CORZINE.
