The Corzine campaign is pretty blatantly lying.

An internal Democratic poll shows Gov. Jon Corzine trailing Republican gubernatorial nominee Chris Christie by seven points.
The poll of 604 likely voters, conducted by Global Strategy Group, shows Christie with 42% to Gov. Corzine’s 35%. Independent Christopher Daggett gets 6%.
“This seven point margin is as narrow a deficit as we’ve seen for Governor Corzine over the several polls we’ve conducted statewide since April,” reads the poll’s memo, which also says that the recent corruption busts have done little to change Corzine’s public standing.

Er, wait a minute, let’s look back to what they were saying on July 9:

On a conference call with campaigns supporters, Gov. Jon Corzine and his campaign strategist, Steve DeMicco, said their internal poll has Republican Christopher Christie ahead by four percentage points, 42%-38%, with independent Christopher Daggett at 4%. In a two-way race, Corzine and DeMicco said Christie’s lead widens to six points.

With math skills like this helping Gov. Corzine, it’s not shocking that the state’s credit rating was downgraded.

In the non-internal polls, Christie now leads by 14.
