GA-Gov, NJ-Gov: Big Leads for Barnes, Oxendine, Christie

Strategic Vision (R) (7/17-19, likely voters, 6-12/14 in parentheses):

Roy Barnes (D): 46 (49)

Thurbert Baker (D): 31 (30)

David Poythress (D): 4 (5)

Dubose Porter (D): 3 (2)

Undecided: 16 (14)

John Oxendine (R): 38 (35)

Nathan Deal (R): 16 (12)

Karen Handel (R): 9 (13)

Eric Johnson (R): 5 (4)

Ray McBerry (R): 3 (2)

Austin Scott (R): 2 (2)

Undecided: 27 (32)

(MoE: ±3%)

Republican pollster Strategic Vision takes another look at both the primary fields in the Georgia governor’s race (sorry, no general election matchups). As their previous polls have shown, Insurance Comm. John Oxendine has a head start on the GOP field, while former Gov. Roy Barnes leads the Dems. Strategic Vision has repeatedly shown AG Thurbert Baker polling much stronger than Rasmussen.

Strategic Vision (R) (7/17-19, likely voters, 6-19/21 in parentheses):

Jon Corzine (D-inc): 38 (39)

Chris Christie (R): 53 (51)

Christopher Daggett (I): 5 (N/A)

Undecided: 4 (8)

(MoE: ±3%)

Strategic Vision also takes a look at the New Jersey’s governor’s race. This is very consistent with the most recent Quinnipiac and Rasmussen polls. Suffice it to say that if Jon Corzine is going to start making a move, now would be the time to do it.

  1. It would be wonderful to avoid a runoff while the Republicans have to deal with an expensive primary that may or may not involve lawsuits.

  2. Must be a total screwup to be losing this badly in NJ of all places.  

    I have a bad feeling Blue America is about to fracture, at least at the gubernatorial level.  New Jersey looks lost, Pennsylvania might be tough, Rhode Island might not be the easy pickup we all thought, Michigan might be tough to hold, maybe even Ohio too (with an incumbent even though OH is definitely Purple)

  3. now if only Baker would take these polls, realize he isn’t going to beat Barnes, and run for Senate instead.
