Democratic U. S. Sen. Jon Corzine leads Republican Douglas Forrester 52 – 45 percent among likely voters in the race for Governor of New Jersey, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. In this final survey, undecided voters are allocated to the candidates they are most likely to support, a step not taken in prior surveys.
The independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University survey shows Republicans back Forrester 90 – 9 percent, while Democrats back Corzine 90 – 9 percent and independent voters back the Republican 49 – 46 percent.
“Doug Forrester was always the underdog in this battle of the multi-millionaires, and when the campaign turned negative and ugly, his upward momentum slowed. The bottom line is that even when things are equal in New Jersey, the Democrats win,� said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
From October 31 – November 6, Quinnipiac University surveyed 775 likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Florida and nationally as a public service and for research.
