CHRISTIE\’S COATTAILS UNLIKELY TO HELP GOP WIN NEW JERSEY STATEHOUSE

By Mark Lagerkvist | New Jersey Watchdog

A blowout win by Gov. Chris Christie in next week’s election might be great for his presidential ambitions in 2016.

Yet it probably won’t help his fellow Republicans win majorities in the New Jersey Legislature.

A Rutgers-Eagleton poll found that 50 percent of voters want Democrats to keep control of the Statehouse. Just 38 percent would prefer the GOP to take over in Trenton.

In contrast, Christie has a 24-point lead over his Democratic challenger. He leads Sen. Barbara Buono by 59 percent to 35 percent, according to the most recent Monmouth University poll of likely voters.
