The Democrat leads by 54% to 35% among all registered voters and has a similar 55% to 38% advantage among those most likely to vote on November 4. Obama has doubled the 8 point lead he held among likely voters last month. Importantly, very few Obama voters indicate that they are likely to change their minds before election day.

The other October New Jersey polls of likely voters show Obama at 55, 50, and 50 and McCain at 40, 42, and 37.  The average is 52.5 - 39.3 for a 13 point Obama lead, but note that the two most recent polls agree he has hit 55%.  Another nice tidbit from Monmouth is this:

Currently, 68% of voters say they are more enthusiastic than usual about voting compared to only 17% who say they are less enthusiastic.
