New Jersey voters give Democratic U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez a 46 - 32 percent approval rating and a 47 - 34 percent lead over State Sen. Joseph Kyrillos, the Republican challenger, his biggest lead in months, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

This compares to a 45 - 35 percent lead in a May 16 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll. Today, Menendez leads 82 - 4 percent among Democrats and 44 - 33 percent among independent voters, while Kyrillos leads 77 - 10 percent among Republicans.

The Democrat leads 43 - 38 percent among men and 52 - 30 percent among women. He leads in every section of the state except the shore areas, where Monmouth County's Kyrillos is ahead 44 - 35 percent. Rural voters are divided 41 - 42 percent.

Menendez has a 37 - 25 percent favorability rating, with 36 percent who haven't heard enough about him to form an opinion. For Kyrillos, 72 percent haven't heard enough about him to form an opinion.

The biggest problem that Republicans face is that no one knows who Joe Kryillos is and his fundraising is mediocre, though not bad for a challenger.

Not unexpected. I’m surprised it’s this close.

Menendez is polling under 50% against an unknown. It’s not impossible to defeat him.

For Kyrillos, 72 percent haven't heard enough about him to form an opinion.

America has got to have some of the most unaware, disinterested, lazy voters on the face of the earth.

If Menendez is leading 44-33 among men that says something about how many MEN there really are in NJ.

Got to send Joe some cash, he was a year behind me in college.

From the article: “From July 9 - 15, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,623 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percentage points.”

So, it is not even likely voters...meaningless

44-33 is independents,

Men is just 43-38.

Based on that it looks like men will vote for the Republican.
