The newest Quinnipiac poll out Monday shows the New Jersey gubernatorial race continues to be too close to call.  The latest results show Republican challenger Chris Christie at 42 percent, with the Democratic incumbent ,Governor Jon Corzine, at 40 percent.  Third-party candidate Chris Daggett continues to poll around 12 percent, and while he isn’t a top contender he could have great impact on the two men who are.  In that same Quinnipiac poll Daggett supporters were pushed to select a second choice.  Thirty-nine percent would go to Corzine, while just 29 percent would shift to Christie.  The Daggett factor could have significant impact tomorrow, though Corzine believes Daggett’s entry into the race has been positive.  “I think Mr. Daggett did everybody a favor by forcing my opponent to try to say something specific, which he hasn’t said in 11 months,” Corzine remarked in reference to the ads Christie has been running against Daggett in recent weeks.

Corzine is coming off a weekend that attracted thousands to events headlined by President Obama.  The top Democrat urged Corzine supporters to recognize that the governor has managed many difficulties during his term.  “Change is hard,” the president warned, “Corzine didn’t promise it was going to be easy -  he promised he would wake up every single day thinking about you.”

At his events, Corzine also linked Christie to controversial Congressman Joe Wilson, the Republican who shouted “you lie” during President Obama’s health care reform address to Congress.  Corzine said the two were campaigning together, something the Christie campaign flatly denied.  Though Wilson was in New Jersey at an unrelated event, there was no connection between Christie’s camp and the Wilson meeting.

Christie remains positive on his final day of campaigning, as he travels across the state on a bus tour.  He’s stopping to thank supporters and also trying to sway last minute undecideds, the group that could make all the difference on Tuesday.  While Corzine has accused him of failing to offer specific solutions, Christie says it’s Corzine’s record that should be the biggest concern for voters.  “Jon Corzine stood in front of the people of New Jersey and made a bunch of promises and he put his hand over his heart and said, ‘Citizens of New Jersey, hold me accountable,’” Christie continued, “Well November 3rd is accountability day, let’s pick him up and throw him out!”

Political analyst Larry Sabato says that would be a big loss for the administration.  “If Corzine loses that, of course, is a major prob for the WH because they’ve picked the New Jersey’s governor’s race as the one President Obama can affect.”  The dozens of supporters who waited in the cold drizzle to cheer Christie outside the Monmouth Country Republican Headquarters Monday seem determined to make that happen.
