Stockton really screwed the pooch with their 1st District poll.

I lived in NJ for 20 years and rarely voted in these off year elections. Guess many current New Jerseians have similar experiences.

Going from a 56-24 to 48-32 majority is insane. NJ Dems need to get their ish together.

Ehh, they're not running the state all that well from what I hear.

Nobody ever seems to run New Jersey all that well.  Maybe that's part of the reason why we see swings between the governorship.  

Probably.

And I should note, NJ is a blue state. But its not that blue. This giant trifecta they've had the last few years was untenable. There are alot of moderates turned off by Trump, but that doesn't mean they are permanent blue voters on the state level.

Hahahahahaha. He literally sounds like the Democratic version of Trump here. For 2021, I think Republicans have a much better shot here than in Virginia.

Also this just occurred to me but it seems like Jon (with that spelling) is an unusually common name in New Jersey politics, between Bramnick, Runyan and Corzine.

Murphy isnt Corzine. Atleast not yet.

Lest you forget, Corzine was incredibly unpopular due to the recession and being a dumbass. And NJ still almost relected him. Not to mention NJ has gotten bluer in the last ten years.

So, your getting way ahead of yourself if you think democrats are safer in Virginia then they are in NJ.

Murphy is done in 2020.

Totally, good thing the election is in 2021.
