Democrat Frank Lautenberg, seeking a fifth term in the U.S. Senate, can breathe a little easier this month. The incumbent leads Republican challenger Dick Zimmer 49% to 36% in the latest Rasmussen reports telephone survey in New Jersey. When “leaners” are included, Lautenberg leads the Republican 50% to 37%.
Last month, the two candidates were virtual tied, with Lautenberg on top by just a single percentage point. That poll was taken just days after Lautenberg survived a primary challenge that raised questions about whether he was too old to serve.
Still, while the new poll provides better news for the Democrat, any incumbent who polls below 50% is considered potentially vulnerable. Lautenberg has been just below the 50% mark in the last several Rasmussen polls and in polls conducted by other organizations. Lautenberg is one of only two Democratic senators seeking re-election who is polling below 50% (the other is Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu).
Anybody check to see if Lautenberg is actually alive???
Bring back The Torch.
New Jersey government - organized criminal enterprise.
What’s L promising the sheeple? Gotta be something.
New Jersey and Lautenberg “dumb and dumber”
Nothing like a RINO to inspire the electorate of the Garden State. Some Garden!
