The disapproval numbers for New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine are on the rise and when he is matched in a trial heat against former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, the presumed frontunner for the GOP nomination, Christie wins 41 percent to 32 percent with 27 percent undecided, according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll conducted Feb. 25 - March 2. A Quinnipiac University poll a month ago also showed Christie ahead.

Forty-six percent of registered voters in the state disapprove of the job Corzine is doing compared to 40 percent who approve and 13 percent undecided. Last November, Corzine had a positive approval to disapproval ratio of 46 percent to 37 percent.

In other potential match-ups against Republicans:

  • Corzine leads Bogota mayor Steve Lonegan 36 percent to 32 percent with 31 percent undecided.

  • Corzine leads Assemblyman Rick Merkt 37 percent to 28 percent with 35 percent undecided.

  • Corzine leads Franklin Township Mayor Brian Levine 38 percent to 27 percent with 36 percent undecided.
