PPP: Christie now leads Corzine 47 - 41

From Eric Dondero:

Even a jaded political observer such as myself has to admit that Obama skates on a Virginia loss. He threw Creigh Deeds to the side. He avoided last minute campaigning in Virginia. He sent signals out, along with other top Democrats that Deed was toast.

But not New Jersey. A Garden State loss is an Obama loss. Obama spent the entire weekend criss-crossing the State for Corzine. The DNC has pumped in millions in last minute dollars. TV ads are running with a warm Corzine/Obama embrace.

And now we learn this morning it looks like Republicans may be poised for a knock-out Victory.

From Public Policy Polling (PPP):

Chris Christie leads Jon Corzine 47-41 in PPP's final poll of the New Jersey Governor's race, with Chris Daggett at 11%.

Corzine had pulled to within a point of Christie on our poll three weeks ago after trailing by as many as 14 points over the summer, but his momentum has stalled since then and Christie's built his lead back up to 4 points last week and now 6.

Christie's advantage is due largely to his support from independents and because he has Republicans more unified around him than the Democrats are around Corzine.

Note - PPP is regarded as a Left-leaning Pro-Democrat polling firm. Also note, a 6 point lead is outside of the margin of Democrat voter fraud, particularly important for any New Jersey race.

Virginia's loss for the 'D's will be largely ignored and explained away tomorrow night. A New Jersey loss, will send shockwaves through the entire political community throughout the Nation, and will be an outstanding portend for Republicans 2010.
