According to CNN exit polls, Chris Christie won the indpendent vote 58 percent to Jon Corzine's 33 percent, and independents comprised 27 percent of the electorate in the New Jersey governor's race. If these numbers hold up, it would be great news for Christie. The most recent Public Policy Polling survey had Christie with a 6-point lead, and it gave him a 23 point edge among independents. By contrast, the final Monmouth University/Gannett poll that had Corzine winning by 2 points gave Christie just a 10 point lead among independents.
