Good news from Rasmussen Reports on the New Jersey Senate Race. Frank Lautenberg leads Dick Zimmer 49-36, or 50-37 when "leaners" are included. Women provide Lautenberg with his huge lead, breaking for him 55-29. The margin of error is 4.5%.

The outlook for 2009 is somewhat different...

Ratings for New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine (D) continue to slip. Just 27% of voters give him good or excellent ratings, while 40% say he is doing a poor job. Last month, his numbers were 29% good or excellent, and 37% poor.
