Lonegan Closing on Booker

A new Quinnipiac poll in New Jersey finds Cory Booker (D) leading Steve Lonegan by 12 points in the U.S. Senate race among likely voters, 53% to 41%.

Said pollster Maurice Carroll: “Maybe that ‘show horse vs. work horse’ charge from Lonegan is having an impact. While we can’t make a direct comparison between registered voters and likely voters, Booker did have a 54% to 29% registered voter lead over Lonegan in Quinnipiac’s August 7 pre-primary survey.”
