Response by Rick Thigpen

“The public continues to show cautious trust in the leadership of Governor Corzine.  These numbers show that Corzine's personal credibility and his support among public pension households continue to be his most valuable political assets. While the governor's numbers are encouraging, the public's concerns about the state's finances still cast a shadow over any future predictions of good political weather. Persuading a skeptical public of the wisdom of generating new revenue from the Turnpike will be the fork in the governor's political road.”
