Poll finds Newark mayor a viable candidate for governor of New Jersey
In what could be consider another round of fantasy New Jersey politics, Public Policy Polling Thursday issued the results of its third poll in three days, the latest finding that a gubernatorial campaign between Gov. Chris Christie and Newark Mayor Cory Booker would begin in a tie.
Christie, a Republican, is finishing the first year of his initial four-year term and has not spoken of seeking a second term in 2013. He is also a darling of the national GOP and there has been talk of him seeking the presidency at some point. Booker, a Democrat, has not spoken of seeking the governor's office.
