The race for the governorship of New Jersey is tight. Yesterday’s USA Today reported a margin of error race.
A new poll shows a tight race for the New Jersey governor’s mansion as former President Barack Obama is set to speak at a Nov. 1 rally for the Democratic candidate.
Democrat Mikie Sherrill had a slight lead over her Republican rival, Jack Ciattarelli, in the AtlasIntel poll released Nov. 1. The poll of more than 1,600 likely voters in New Jersey from Oct. 25 to Oct. 30 showed Sherrill getting 50.2% of the vote compared to Ciattarelli’s 49.3%, with a 2% margin of error.
Sherrill is a moderate Democrat with serious mom vibes, who should have been a shoo-in for this race. I’ve been following her since 2019, when she ran a series of awesome ads and won a local Congressional race. This is Ciattarelli’s third race for governor, and he has MAGA ties, which don’t really work here.
Why are things so close in this New Jersey race for governor?

I wonder how Fulop would have fared in the general. I voted for him in the primary, because he seemed most inclined to push for reform on local government, housing and transit. All of which would help quality of life, but of course would make some enemies.

I had a Fulop sign on my front lawn. Met him. Nice guy. But I never thought he would win. He’s already taken some $$$ consulting job in NYC.

Well, that’s the thing in NJ. Tough to beat the party machine once they settle on someone else.
