Corzine closes a bit on Christie

New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine (D) has gained a little bit of ground on former U.S. attorney Chris Christie in the this year’s Garden State gubernatorial race, according to the latest Quinnipiac poll.

The newest Q poll shows Corzine within single digits, trailing a one-on-one matchup with Christie 51-42 and a three-way matchup that includes independent Christopher Daggett 46-40. Daggett takes 7 percent.

A month ago, Corzine trailed those matchups 53-41 and 47-38, respectively, so he closed each gap by three points.

It’s hardly a massive shift, of course, and it falls just outside the poll’s margin of error, so there might not actually be much of a shift. But for the Corzine camp, which has seen polling get progressively worse for months, the latest is a good sign.
