TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Republican Bret Schundler has narrowed the gap in the New Jersey governor's race but still trails Democrat Jim McGreevey, according to a new poll released Monday.
With one day left in the campaign, Schundler trailed his rival by nine percentage points among likely voters in the Quinnipiac University poll. McGreevey, the mayor of Woodbridge Township, had 48 percent, while Schundler had 39 percent and 12 percent said they were undecided.
In the university's last poll, released Oct. 30, McGreevey led the former Jersey City mayor 52 percent to 35 percent among likely voters.
In the latest poll, McGreevey led Schundler 43 percent to 35 percent among Independent voters, with 21 percent undecided. Men favored Schundler 47 percent to 41 percent, while women supported McGreevey 55 percent to 31 percent.
Quinnipiac interviewed 505 likely voters by telephone from Oct. 29 to Nov. 4. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4
