Badgered for months by poll numbers showing Gov. Jon Corzine trailing badly, New Jersey Democratic State Chairman Joseph P. Cryan celebrated the results of today's Farleigh Dickinson University (FDU) Poll, which shows Corzine in a statistical tie with Republican challenger Chris Christie.
“Today’s poll shows the strength and ongoing support for Governor Jon S. Corzine, Senator Loretta Weinberg and the Democratic Party that continues to grow each day," Cryan said in a statement. “Together, we are fighting for what matters most to New Jersey voters. New Jerseyans recognize that Jon Corzine is fighting for our families – he has ensured nearly 100,000 more New Jersey children have health coverage, he is a strong advocate for a woman’s right to choose and is one of only a handful of governors who have made paid family leave the law to make sure New Jerseyans can care for newborns and sick relatives while still getting paid."
