Poll: New Jersey Senate race tightens

[UCmeNdc]

Newark Mayor Cory Booker still holds a double-digit lead over his Republican challenger in the New Jersey Senate race, a new poll shows, but his lead continues to shrink with the election two days away.

Booker leads Steve Lonegan by 10 points, 52 percent to 42 percent, among likely voters in a poll out Monday from Monmouth University.

How is the GOTV effort being run?

1. Don't worry

Lonegan is not going to win. The debt limit and shut down has us pissed up here. Add to that Lonegan's sleazy campaign tactics and parading Sister Sarah Alaskstan in a state where the vast majority of women cannot relate to her and feel she is nothing like them - and Lonegan's oppressive view on civil liberties and he's going to lose.

Booker was not my choice - Pallone is much more in alignment with my beliefs - but the entire membership of DU has a better chance of meeting God in te next five minutes or so . . . Than it does of waking up to a Senator Lonegan on Thursday morning.

He's not going to win.

3. Media narrative. He is 10 points ahead.

Why do we always have to fall for this type of crap. Races with a large gap always tighten before the election.

5. Exactly

With a gap as large as this one, the underdog becomes a safe protest vote.

4. Rutgers-Eagleton Poll: Booker Lead Greater than Expected

With just two days to go until the Oct. 16 special U.S. Senate election, Newark Mayor
Cory Booker holds a 58 percent to 36 percent lead over former Republican Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan
among likely voters, a new Rutgers-Eagleton Poll finds. Another 3 percent prefer someone else, and
about 3 percent remain undecided. While the Democrat’s lead is less than he enjoyed following the
August primary, compared to other polls this latest Rutgers-Eagleton poll suggests Booker has recently
gained in his bid to succeed the late Frank Lautenberg.
