New Jersey Governor Christie See Lead in Polls Shrink; Still Leads Big, Holding Sway with Latinos

In New Jersey, the reelection battle between incumbent Governor Chris Christie (R) and state Senator Barbara Buono (D) is tightening, albeit not by much. According to a Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press poll, Christie's lead is down the 56% to 36% percent over Bruno, a twenty-point margin that, should it hold, would represent a landslide victory. However, according to the same polling group, Christie had a 30 point advantage a month ago (61% to 31%) as of one month ago. So in a month, his lead has been cut by a third. Still, he remains largely in control of the race - and an early frontrunner for the GOP's Presidential nomination in 2016 - because of his ability to shore up the traditional Republican base (white men) while also leaning into the much-coveted Latino demographic.
