Aren’t More Independents Going to Vote in New Jersey’s Governor’s Race?

SurveyUSA is out with a poll that puts Chris Christie ahead, but by only 3 percentage points. Independent Chris Daggett is at 14 percent.

The SUSA sample split seems pretty strange — 38 percent Republican, 42 percent Democrat, 18 percent independent.

CNN’s exit poll of the state last year — obviously, a presidential year, with big turnout driven by Obama — split 44 percent Democrat, 28 percent Republican, 28 percent independent.

In 2006, CNN’s exit poll was 41 percent Democrat, 28 percent Republican, 31 percent independent.

Yeah, Christie folks, I think this is going to take more than a parody of those ubiquitous Geico ads.

UPDATE: Rasmussen also has Christie up by 3.
