According to Rasmussen, United States Attorney Chris Christie is poised to defeat former Bogota mayor and conservative activist Steve Lonegan in Tuesday's New Jersey Republican primary. Christie leads Lonegan 46%-35%. In the general election, Christie has generally led incumbent Governor Jon Corzine in polling, while Lonegan has been tied with Corzine.

Christie currently leads Lonegan by 17.4 points in the latest RCP Average, and is over 50%. Primaries are tricky to poll, but it looks as thought Christie will earn the right to face off with Corzine in the November election.
