Republican challenger Chris Christie has regained his 13-point lead over incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine in New Jersey’s closely watched gubernatorial race.
A new Rasmussen Reports survey of voters in the Garden State finds Christie on top 50% to 37%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are not sure.
In early July, Christie’s lead over Corzine was down to seven points. In that poll, Christie’s lead stretched to 12-points when “leaners” were included. It now appears that those who were leaning in the challengers direction have become more firm in their decision.
Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate. Currently, Christie’s lead is at 13-points both with and without leaners.
In June, just after winning the state GOP Primary, Christie led by 13 – 51% to 38%.
