Corzine, Legislature approval ratings head south

A new poll says that two of every three New Jersey residents doubt whether the Legislature will make meaningful property tax cuts this year. That degree of skepticism isn't at all surprising. Nor is Gov. Corzine's declining popularity. His overall approval rating in the Quinnipiac University poll is down from 49 percent last month to 42 percent this month. Only 30 percent approve of the way he is handling the property tax issue.

New Jersey residents are even less satisfied with the Democratic-controlled Legislature. Its overall approval rating is 27 percent, and only 16 percent approve of the way it is handling property taxes.

With every seat in the Legislature up for grabs in November, the Democrats will be cutting their own throats if they don't produce deliver significant tax and ethics reforms this session.
