Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine's approval ratings are stagnating among registered New Jersey voters. A Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind poll conducted March 30-April 5 showed that 40 percent of registered voters approved of Corzine's job as governor, while 49 percent disapprove. That matches Corzine's approval rating from the university poll released in March, though his disapproval rating is up slighting, from 46 percent.
A majority of voters - 71 percent -- also rated Corzine's job performance as fair or poor. Sixty-eight percent said the same thing in the March poll.
Voters displeasure with Corzine appears to stem in part from his handling of the state budget. Forty-four percent of voters think Corzine's proposed budget is bad for New Jersey, 24 percent think it is good, and 32 percent were unsure.
