Does anybody have the numbers on NJ race?

I was just going to ask if this same outfit has done Jersey! Geez, that would be a a huge kick to the gonads if the Dims lost both!

WHOA!!!!

WOW this is awesome news if true..I mean Virginia has gone Democrat too many times to count(Obama twice, Clinton in 2016)

[Lurkinanloomin]

As much as I can’t stand Amnesty Ed, I hope this is true.

[rb22982]

Yes!

“As much as I can’t stand Amnesty Ed, I hope this is true.”

Better him than a dimoKKKRAT in that seat.

Haven’t been following. Thought he was losing. He should thank Trump if he wins.

VA is the pivot point for Dims. If they lose VA they will be pushed back fifty years. If they drop NJ too then the Dim party will have to disband all together.

I think Trump should pressure the RNC to make voter ID a priority in every state possible.

If there a Republican state house and Governor then there better be voter ID on the books.

Considering how Crispy Kreme Christie has poisoned the well in NJ for the GOP, it's doubtful that a Republican will be able to pull off a win there for the next 50 years.

Hopefully I'm wrong ...

And, it’s a University poll... even better!!!

Quinnipiac claims the dem in NJ is up 20.

The RealClearPolitics average is +15.9

Interesting how the "local & state-wide" polls in VA show a much different picture than the national MSM polls.

Could it be because the MSM is including Fairfax County's thousands of MS-13 members in the polling?

Hampton only does a Virginia poll. In NJ, Murphy is ahead by 15-20 points depending which poll you are reading.

[Red Steel]

Trump got election coattails for this guy.

[CJ Wolf]

We have to show ID in VA. I don’t think it matters to ballot box stuffers and the vote flipping machines, if any of the past 8+ years is a reflection of it.

Ed should win. Maybe he was going along with the rino infection to get along? times are a changing after all. Maybe he will change stripes and become a good guy. Either way I’ll vote carpet bagging rino ed over that other guy just on the hope he changes, otherwise it will be a full on dem victory and who needs that?

Christie did nothing to deserve the treatment he has received from the Liberal media, except be a Republican (RINO actually)

[Dr. Sivana]

Either way I’ll vote carpet bagging rino ed over that other guy just on the hope he changes, otherwise it will be a full on dem victory and who needs that?

There is also 2020 redistricting to think of. Besides, VA already has SERIOUS term limits. It's not like he'll be governor for the next 20 years.
