New Senate Poll

[admin]

I looked on line and could not find the poll, but the Asbury Park press ran a recent poll which shows that Kean has a bit of an edge at this time over Menendez. The lead was within the margin of error, so it is being called a statistical tie.

According to the poll, if the war in Iraq was not a factor, Kean would have a bigger lead, out of the margin of error, giving him a clear lead.

I do not recall the exact numbers or who administered the poll. If I find the info, I will update this thread

"President Bush and the conflict in Iraq continue to hurt the Republican candidate in New Jersey's senate race. Overall, the race is a statistical dead heat, with Republican Tom Kean, Jr. leading 43 to 39 percent in the latest numbers from Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind survey. However, a portion of the poll designed to test the impact of national issues on the Senate race shows that without the concerns about the war and President Bush, Kean could hold a double digit lead at this point, 47 to 36 percent, rather than being in a tight race with Democratic Senator Robert Menendez."

FedUp opines: This, of course, is only good news for Jr. if you think Bush and the war are going away any time soon.
