Along with State factors damaging NJ Gov Corzine, I can't imagine all the Wall St bashing coming from Obama and other Dems in DC doing Corzine any good. It certainly isn't helping his poll numbers.
In a hypothetical matchup with former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, the leading Republican contender, Christie leads 41 percent to 32 percent. That's a switch from January, when Corzine held a seven point lead over Christie.
"This poll fits into a pattern we have been seeing for awhile," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Corzine's approval rating has been below 50% since 2007, and some polls have shown Corzine tied with Christie or behind him since last August. This economy may create tough sledding for many incumbents, and the fact that Corzine has a Wall Street background can't help."
"Corzine has served five years in the U.S. Senate after spending more than $60 million of his per sonal fortune to win the seat in 2000. His move into politics came after a 30-year career on Wall Street, where he became chief ex ecutive officer of the Goldman Sachs investment firm." http://tinyurl.com/dc7f3g
