The William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton College is in the field with a poll on the gubernatorial race from a South Jersey point of view, and plans to release the results on Friday. Stockton and pollster Zogby International are polling a battleground region of the state: districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9. In 2005, Democrat Jon Corzine beat Republican Douglas Forrester 52%-48 in these five districts.

A September 21 poll had Republican Christopher Christie leading Corzine in this region by seven percentage points, 37%-30%, with 9% for independent Christopher Daggett.

Stockton also polled State Assembly races in those five districts. Most interesting: Democrats had a big lead in the hotly contested first district race, and that newly-elected Assemblywoman Celeste Riley (D-Bridgeton) was running third in District 3 – a place where state Republicans have virtually conceded.
