A new survey conducted for Stan Greenberg and James Carville's organization Democracy Corps shows a New Jersey gubernatorial race that remains very close, with Democratic Governor Jon Corzine holding a four-point edge over Republican Chris Christie among the electorate most likely to turn out on Election Day.  Corzine leads Christie 41 percent to 37 percent among these voters, with independent Chris Daggett receiving 15 percent of the vote.  Among a higher-turnout electorate, Corzine leads Christie 41 percent to 36 percent.[1] When Daggett voters are pushed to choose one of the two major party candidates, Corzine leads 47 to 41 percent.

There is a significant bloc of 8 percent of the electorate that remains undecided, which can still have an impact on the final margin in the race, especially considering the anti-incumbent mood in New Jersey and across the country.
