New Jersey: Is The National Economy Hurting Corzine In His Rellection Quest?

One serious problem facing incumbent New Jersey Democratic
Governor Jon Corzine in his 2009 reelection race according to Rasmussen Reports: a growing sense in the state
that the nation is falling further into economic disarray: Just 4% of New
Jersey voters rate the economy as good or excellent while 65% say it's in poor
shape. 23% say things are getting better, but 47% say they are getting worse.
PollTrack has noted this same phenomena in other states where the economy is suffering and incumbent
Democratic governors now in trouble, including the key swing states of Virginia
(a race that will also be decided this November) and Ohio.
