In the Republican primary, Christie is running against former mayor [[Steve Lonegan]], who is considered more [[conservative]] out of the two. Although both candidates agree on most issues such as the need to downsize state [[government]], reduce [[tax]] rates, reform [[education]] and have restrictions on [[abortion]], Lonegan has won support from grassroots conservatives for his support for a flat income tax, where Christie simply supports reducing taxes across the board.
In the Republican primary, Christie defeated former mayor [[Steve Lonegan]].
Public opinion polls show Christie comfortably ahead of both Lonegan in the primary and incumbent [[Democrat]] [[Governor]] [[Jon Corzine]] in the general election. <ref>http://www.njgop.org/NewsBack.aspx?guid=a7524918-095a-41a9-bd78-0e654fa27db4</ref>
