Marist Poll: Obama 56, McCain 39 in New Jersey

by: Hopeful

Sat Oct 25, 2008 at 08:10:34 PM EDT



The latest Marist poll of New Jersey puts Barack Obama ahead by 17 among likely voters, a big improvement over the 3 point lead in their September poll.  As for approval ratings, they actually use the word "lovefest" to describe Obama's 65-30 favorable-unfavorable score.  There were 628 likely voters (MoE 4%) for the poll taken 10/20 and 10/21.  You'll have to click through to see the registered voters, but there's not much difference.  This poll adds to the evidence that Obama is now at or above 55% --  No wonder we don't have the usual stories of Republicans getting their hopes up.  

51% of voters view Sarah Palin unfavorably, worse than her running mate who gets 44% unfavorable.

Lautenberg leads 48-41 among likely voters.  There's no evidence of change since September. Only half of each side's voters say they strongly support their guy, which I blame on the lack of visible campaigning.

The NY times on this campaign in their Lautenberg endorsement (0.00 / 0)
Their 1st line:
New Jersey voters deserved a better race this year than the nearly invisible contest between Senator Frank Lautenberg and Richard Zimmer, his Republican challenger


Remember (4.00 / 2)
when McCain surrogates in this state were proudly declaring New Jersey "McCain Country?"

Kind of funny.


I don't get it (0.00 / 0)
I had it from a reliable source that "it's clear Sen. McCain is going to carry New Jersey."
