A series of polls has shown Corzine trailing Republican Chris Christie, a former U.S. attorney under President George W. Bush.

But Christie must first thwart challenger Steve Lonegan, a former mayor of Bogota, which is about 15 miles north of Newark. GOP Assemblyman Rick Merkt has trailed both in polls.
