A new Fairleigh Dickinson poll finds New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine (D), running for re-election this year with a 40% approval rating, in some trouble (Feb. 25-March 2, 751 RV, MoE +/- 4%).

The survey shows Corzine trailing the leading Republican challenger, former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie. Just more than half (55%) of Democrats chose Corzine over Christie (28% were undecided, 17% chose Christie). Other Republicans tested against Corzine include Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan, Assemblyman Rick Merkt and Franklin Township Mayor Brian Levine.
