Does this South Jersey poll spell trouble for Menendez?

A new poll shows Democratic U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez trailing Republican challenger Bob Hugin by 10 percentage points in a battleground South Jersey congressional district that Democrats are hoping to turn blue.

On the surface, that might not seem terribly troubling for Menendez, who draws 36 percent to Hugin's 46 percent of voters in the 2nd congressional district, according to the Stockton University survey released Wednesday.

The district -- which includes all of Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland counties, including parts of four other counties -- went for Republican Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. And Republican Frank LoBiondo has held the district's seat in the U.S. House for 24 years.

that’s right. I forgot Trenton in my post. You didn’t mention the Amboys but with a Latin on the ballot, they’ll come out.

Perhaps you mean Northeast NJ and Camden County dominate.
Sorry to burst your bubble

Need a new statewide poll

Agreed. Down here in south Jersey, its fairly conservative. Especially along the shore, the year round residents tend to be older, conservative and actually do go to the polls.

Not silly at all

In fact most of the democrats I know hate Hillary and wanted Bernie
And they were angry about Bernie being kicked to the curb.

If Bernie won, I wouldn't have been surprised. But Hillary?
no

[novemberslady]

No bubble here
Menendez will still be senator until he's removed by the people who don't want him there.

Almost makes me miss Torricelli... almost.

“Need a new statewide poll”

Quinnipiac is the most recent I’ve seen, Menenendez is up but only by 6, and that’s registered voters. Tight race for a NJ Democrat.

Hillary won NJ by 500K votes in 2016. The dark blue populated areas are tough to beat.

In the north, Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon & Morris counties went for Trump and are reliably Republican. Somerset used to be but with the huge influx of people in the last 15 years it is now a loss. In central NJ, Monmouth & Ocean are Trump turf. In the south it’s pretty much just Cape May, Gloucester and Salem.

Jersey City, Paterson, Newark, New Brunswick, Trenton, Camden and Atlantic City are dem strongholds and when they get their vote out it blows the rest of the state away.
