After a flurry of new polls this week in New Jersey which are generally showing a much closer contest than in September or earlier in the summer, but there is a huge wild card in this race and it's all about independent Chris Daggett.
The best news for the campaign of Democrat Jon Corzine, however, is not the margin but the fact that the Governor's support is starting to rise slightly. You can see the upward tick in the blue line from roughly 39%, where it stood for much of the summer to 40.6% as of this afternoon.
The encouraging news for Republicans and not-so-great news for Democrats is that a roughly seven point drop in Republican Chris Christie's support since the summer has gone mostly to independent Chris Daggett. A very large percentage of the New Jersey likely voters (an average of 18% on the surveys released this past week) are either undecided or supporting Daggett or are undecided. Daggett's support is the most important wild card in the race.
