Even Rasmussen has good news today out of New Jersey:
The New Jersey governor’s race is a runaway going into the final few days of the contest.
A new Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone and online survey finds Democrat Phil Murphy leading Republican Kim Guadagno by 15 points – 50% to 35% - among Likely New Jersey Voters. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and 10% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Guadagno, the state’s current lieutenant governor, has only 69% support among New Jersey Republicans. Twenty-one percent (21%) of GOP voters favor Murphy who has 77% backing among his fellow Democrats.
Murphy has a slight 41% to 37% advantage among voters not affiliated with either party. Fifteen percent (15%) of these voters remain undecided.
The Republican candidate is clearly hurt by the unpopularity of current Governor Chris Christie. Nearly half of all voters in the state say their opinion of Christie is important to their vote. Rasmussen Reports will explore the Christie factor in the race more fully in a story on Monday.
The state survey of 800 Likely Voters in New Jersey was conducted October 31-November 1, 2017 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
