Rasmussen’s latest in New Jersey is a little less reassuring for Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie, putting him up 46 percent to 39 percent. That’s a little tighter than most recent polls, but there’s still some good news for him and bad news for incumbent Jon Corzine: “Nearly six-of-10 voters say they’ve made up their minds. Among those voters, Christie leads by 16… Rasmussen Reports also pushed the undecideds to see which way they are leaning. When these “leaners” are included, Christie’s lead grows to 12 points, 53 percent to 41 percent. Corzine is viewed favorably by 43 percent of voters and unfavorably by 46 percent. Fifty-seven percent have a favorable opinion of Christie, with 36 percent unfavorable.”

In other New Jersey news, the Bloods street gang allegedly ran a check fraud scheme that stole more than $5,000 from the N.J. Democratic State Committee. Authorities claim the gang recruited an employee to provide legitimate checks.

Awful news. If the New Jersey Democrats need one, I can give them the name of a tough prosecutor with a strong record against corruption.

UPDATE: The fantastic Frank J. looks at the funds going from New Jersey Democrats to the Bloods and declares, “Money will now go towards doing less harm to the community.”
