Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine and his Republican challenger, Christopher Christie, are in a statistical tie a day before the election, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

The survey of 1,533 likely voters shows Christie with 42 percent to Corzine’s 40 percent, which falls within the poll’s error margin of 2.5 percentage points. Independent candidate Christopher Daggett has 12 percent and six percent remain undecided.

Thirty-eight percent of Daggett’s supporters told pollsters they may change their minds by tomorrow and 39 percent cite Corzine as their second choice while 29 percent said Christie is their back-up candidate. Only 10 percent of Christie voters and 13 percent of Corzine backers said they might change their mind.

“Daggett is the key to an incredibly close New Jersey election,” Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac polling center, said in a release accompanying the poll, which was conducted Oct. 27 to Nov. 1.

A Quinnipiac survey released Oct. 28 showed Corzine, a first-term Democrat, ahead of Christie, 43 percent to 38 percent, exceeding an error margin of 2.8 percentage points, with Daggett receiving 13 percent. ....

I imagine his huge ties to GS have a lot to do with this.

1. Daggett will be the deciding factor

If he holds at 13% Corzine wins.

2. Actually, it is that we have huge property taxes, sales tax and

income tax and a huge deficit. Corzine has not been able to do anything dramatic to change any one of those things, so many people are ready to run back to the dumbass Republicans who seem to get a free ride on creating funding problems by spending and not taxing to pay for it. Christie Whitman gave her Wall Street pals a big present by funding the deficits with bonds.

4. They haven't had enough

Look its plain and simple if they don't get out there and put down the vote they could get what it is they are trying to come back from. I know the Dems are tired. We have been fighting for eight and a half years. Fighting to get the right President elected,Healthcare Reform, Climate change, LGBT Rights,and a number of other things. But, if they don't get out there and fight for those mid term elections their previous battles will have been for nothing. Winning this war at the ballot box is how you make all of the things that have been put into place become reality. So all you Dems in New Jersey go get your grown kids, your grandmothers and grandfathers, your sisters,brothers, friends, cousins,someone who doesn't have a ride, and take them to vote. They say it is a close race. Maybe this will get you out of your chair. George W. Bush,Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Republican lies and two wars. If that is not motivation i don't know what is. I will say this, you get what you do and do not vote for. Remember the Bush/Cheney years? How did you do? Sit at home if you want to. Still hoping for the day when we are singing with one voice.
