A new Rasmussen poll shows New Jersey Republican Chris Christie clinging to a slender lead over incumbent Democratic governor Jon Corzine. Independent candidate Chris Daggett continues to pick up support:

The latest numbers show Christie getting 45% of the vote, Corzine with 41% and Daggett at nine percent (9%). Over the past week, support for Christie is down two points, support for Corzine is down three points, and support for Daggett is up three. The number of undecideds is up a couple of points to five percent (5%).
However, the race may be even closer than those numbers suggest. When voters are asked their initial choice, 38% name Christie, 38% Corzine, and 16% prefer Daggett. But 57% of Daggett’s supporters say they could change their minds before election day. That dwarfs the number of swayable Corzine and Christie voters.
Among supporters of the governor, 27% say they could still change their minds while just 20% of Christie supporters say the same. A plurality of swayable Daggett supporters and undecided voters indicate they are likely to end up voting for Christie.
