Corzine losing ground fast

Looks like Corzine and his administration’s “Let Them Drink Beer” attitude is catching up to them. Corzine’s value in the eyes of the public continues to dwindle. A Quinnipiac University Poll out today shows 54 percent disapprove of the governor’s job performance, the worst in 13 years of NJ polling. Only 37 percent approved, which is probably the hacks he keeps on the state payroll. Fifty five percent say Corzine doesn’t deserve re-election. On his handling of the economy, 60 percent disapprove. So much for being a Wall Street wizard, but then recent events show the value of the Wall Street crowd to the economy. Corzine trails Republican Chris Christie 45-38. He ties Steve Lonegan at 41 percent. (Christie tops Lonegan 46-37 among likely Republican voters, but Lonegan is gaining.) Looks like Corzine’s deputy chief of staff needs to hold another campaign meeting on state time in the governor’s office so Corzine’s attorney general can ignore it again. They all think voters are fools to be looked down on. Corzine agrees with his treasurer that New Jerseyans aren’t over-taxed. If Corzine is defeated at the polls, his treasurer goes too.
