Quinnipiac will also be releasing a poll on the New Jersey Governor’s race this week.
Christie, who served as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey for six years until the end of 2008, is the second GOP Governor candidate who is leading in a traditionally Democrat state. Last week a poll in Virginia show Republican Bob McDonnell leading three Democrats by considerable margins. The GOP could use a serious boost in the wake of the devastating 2008 elections, and turning two blue states red in this November might be just the kick start needed to get Republicans back on track ahead of mid-term elections in 2010.
