Corzine defended his approval rating again today after a new Poll released by FDU showed his job approval rating at an all time low.  Corzine said that his Approval rating reflected the fiscal hole that New Jersey is in, and that is why people don’t like him.

Last time I checked Governor, you were the one who has approved the budget for NJ for the last 3 years.  I also find it peculiar that Corzine is blaming recent poor approval ratings on the economy, because since being sworn in in 2006, Corzine has only had his approval rating higher than 50% twice.  In fact, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll conducted in 2006 his lowest approval rating was in April of 2006 at a measly 35%.
