TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A majority of New Jersey voters
appear willing to wait for a tax cut.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows 52 percent of
respondents agree with the Democrats' decision to wait-and-see if the state can
afford the cut. But 39 percent agree with Gov. Chris Christie's call for the
Legislature to vote on the cut immediately.
The 10 percent tax cut would cost more than $1 billion a year when fully
phased in. Christie says residents would spend the extra money, boosting the
state economy.
Democrats say they'll sign off only if revenue collections meet Christie's
targets. They've fallen short so far.
The telephone survey of 1,405 registered voters was taken Oct. 10-14 and has
a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.
