FDU Poll: Christie Up By 19%, 40% Say They Are Republican
By Art Gallagher | MoreMonmouthMusings.com
The biggest, perhaps only, surprise in the FDU Public Mind Poll of the New Jersey gubernatorial race released this morning is that 40% of the respondents identified themselves as Republicans. 47% said they are Democrats and only 13% said they are Independent or refused to identify their party.
The overall results in the FDU poll are in line with the other Independent/Academic polls of the race: Governor Christie is going to win. The question is his margin. Will it be 19% as FDU says this morning, 33% as Quinnipiac said on Tuesday or by 24% as the Monmouth University Poll measured two weeks ago.
Using pollsters leftover from the Steve Lonegan Senate campaign, internal poll for Barbara Buono show a 6 point differential.
