The new Eagleton poll:

Corzine 39%

Christie 36%

Daggett 20%

And all you need to know about the new Eagleton poll:

"In recent years, Eagleton-Rutgers polls have been viewed as Democratic-leaning.  Their new poll director, David Redlawsk, was a Democratic elected official in New Jersey, and then served as a Democratic County Chairman and John Edwards delegate in Iowa.  His old website sported a Democratic National Committee logo and says "I'm active in the Democratic Party."  

In 2004, Rutgers hired Jeffrey Levine, a political consultant whose firm polled for Democratic presidential candidate Richard Gephardt earlier that year and Democratic State Senate candidate Blair MacInnes the year before.  Levine's appointment triggered the resignation of Eagleton poll director Clifford Zukin, a Rutgers professor who says he quit because he didn't want to see Eagleton become a Democratic or Republican polling shop."
