PolitickerNJ is reporting that some pundits are still not fully convinced that a Democratic registration boost will help Corzine in ‘09.
Monmouth University pollster and political science professor Patrick Murray agreed that the numbers are, in fact, a big deal – for this year. Next year, however, is no sure thing.
Corzine, whose approval ratings have recently ranged from lukewarm positive to upside down negative in Murray’s polls, said that the trend does not necessarily make for a safe incumbent.
“This particular surge in registration doesn’t make it any easier for Republicans, but it’s largely due to the presidential campaign. Whether these people will come out in a gubernatorial campaign is an open question,” he said.

Good. Corzine really messed up Jersey. Maybe we can get a real governor in the mansion next year.
