According to the New Jersey exit poll, he didn\u2019t seem to develop a broad appeal with any particular constituency. Among independent voters, he garnered just 9% of the vote, and fared somewhat worse among partisan voters. His support was fairly similar among both men and women, all age groups, and across all regions of the state.<\/p>\n<p>The independent candidate\u2019s bigger impact may be in where his support would have gone if he had not run for governor. If their candidate\u2019s name was not on the ballot, 34% of Daggett supporters said they would have voted for Democrat Jon Corzine, while just 22% would have voted for Republican Chris Christie. The remaining 43% claimed they would have stayed home if Daggett was not in the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDaggett\u2019s presence in this campaign gave disgruntled voters another option, but few took it. Most pre-election polls showed him in the double digits. It turns out he didn\u2019t perform nearly as well and had little impact on the eventual outcome,\u201d said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute and exit polling analyst for NJN News and Gannett New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-40802236542 size-full\" title=\"Graph Shows Results of NJ Gubernatorial Exit Poll Asking Daggett Voters About Their Second Choice\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd.jpg\" alt=\"Graph Shows Results of NJ Gubernatorial Exit Poll Asking Daggett Voters About Their Second Choice\" width=\"590\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd-560x385.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd-280x193.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd-320x220.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd-360x248.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2009\/11\/dagg2nd-150x103.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following analysis of the National Election Pool\/Edison Research exit poll was provided for NJN News and the Gannett New Jersey Newspapers: What was Chris Daggett\u2019s impact on the election today?
