Overview

  • Former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli holds a commanding lead in the Republican primary with 42% support, according to the latest Rutgers–Eagleton Poll.
  • Bill Spadea, a former radio host, trails far behind in second place at 12%, with one-third of GOP voters still undecided.
  • Democrats remain deeply divided, with Rep. Mikie Sherrill leading the field at just 17%, followed by Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop at 12%.
  • No candidate from either party is viewed favorably by more than 20% of voters, highlighting a lack of enthusiasm across the board.
  • President Donald Trump has not endorsed a candidate, and Republican voters are evenly split on whether his backing would influence their decision.
