Booker Maintains Lead in New Jersey

A new Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll in New Jersey finds Sen. Cory Booker (D) leading challenger Jeff Bell by 20 points, 43% to 23%. Another 15% say they would vote for another candidate at this early stage of the campaign and 17% are undecided.

Said pollster Patrick Murray: “The underlying fundamentals of Booker’s steady, positive job rating should place him in a strong position for November, but voters are less ready to commit to his reelection than they were just a few months ago.”
