A day before voters go to the polls in New Jersey, the latest Quinnipiac University survey shows Republican Chris Christie in a statistical tie with Gov. Jon Corzine, leading him 42 percent to 40 percent with 12 percent for independent Chris Daggett and 6 percent undecided. The poll was conducted Oct. 27-Nov. 1 and has a margin of error of 2.5 points.

Quinnipiac says the race is too close to call.

This poll is at variance with a Public Policy Polling survey released last night that had Christie opening a 47-41 lead with Daggett at 11 percent. That poll was conducted Oct. 31-Nov. 1.

Quinnipiac's Maurice Carroll says Daggett voters are the key to the outcome because 38 percent of them say they may change their minds, with 39 percent of those naming Corzine as their second choice and 29 percent picking Daggett. The number of Christie voters who say they may change their minds is down to 10 percent and for Corzine the number is 13 percent.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
