Phil Murphy has a double-digit lead over Kim Guadagno in the New Jersey governors race with less than a month before the election, according to Stockton University poll released Friday.
Murphy, the Democratic nominee, has an 18-point advantage over Guadagno, the Republican nominee, according to the poll. Murphy received 51 percent support to Guadagnos 33 percent. The poll included voters who lean toward either candidate. Nearly 7 percent prefer an independent or third-party candidate, and 8 percent are undecided or declined to name their choice.
The poll surveyed 585 New Jersey registered voters who voted in the 2016 presidential election and, according to Stockton, were screened as likely voters for the Nov. 7 election. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
Ricky Diaz, a Guadagno campaign spokesman, called the survey useless in a Twitter post because it was based on the opinions of voters from last years presidential race. But a Stockton spokeswoman said it was a poll of likely voters for this years gubernatorial race.

(2,340 posts)We are looking at what happened with Hillary, and we are taking nothing for granted. The Murphy campaign and the NJ Dems are going to be working hard until all the polls close... and even then we'll be holding our breath. (breaths?)

(4,492 posts)Both in the primary and general elections. Nobody called asking me for my vote or to volunteer.
I'm not sure what he's doing but I seriously wonder about the lack of a field program. I live in a pretty densely populated town that votes Democratic (about 55-45). 1-2 canvassers could knock it out in a shift.
Murphy already got my vote, but I also worry.
