About 75 percent of the people who voted for Corzine approved of the job the president was doing. Obama made three trips to New Jersey to stump for Corzine. On Sunday, Obama stumped for Corzine in Camden and Newark.
Exit polling also showed that a majority of voters believe that none of the candidates has a viable plan to lower property taxes. The majority of people chose "none" over Corzine, Christie and Daggett, according to the Edison Research exit poll.
While property taxes is a controversial issue in any New Jersey election season, it ranked second to the economy and jobs, which a majority of voters interviewed for the exit poll rated as the issue that mattered most in this campaign.
To the question, "How worried are you about the direction of the nation's economy in the next year?" voters on both sides overwhelmingly answered they were worried.
New Jersey governor's election exit polls results shows the New Jersey gubernatorial election is too close to call between Gov. Jon Corzine and Republican Chris Christie.
Though black and Hispanic voters went overwhelmingly for Corzine, challenger Christie polled higher among white voters, according to exit polling from the National Election Pool conducted by Edison Research.
