Obama touted Corzine's record, saying the governor has provided more property tax relief to homeowners than any New Jersey governor and was the first chief executive in 60 years to make government smaller.
He also said Corzine expanded early childhood education and health insurance for children, all during one of the most difficult periods in the state's history.
Recent polls show Corzine running even with Republican Chris Christie, who had enjoyed double-digit leads.
