How is being within the margin of error, whilst 6% of the community remains undecided a "healthy lead"?

NJ voters apparently are beginning to make up their mind.  Not good to see Kean within 2 of 50%.

yea but what percentage can change their mind? A lot...... Though notice the very large difference between registered and likely voters.... Not odd, just interesting.

But when you are leading in all the polls it says something.

Quinnipiac as a rule does not push leaners hard.  That 6% is very surprising and can be very bad news for Senator Menendez.  Either the undecideds are breaking really early for New Jersey or the Big Q pushed them and they are not leaning towards breaking for him.

If the election were held today, Kean would likely win.  The bad news for him is that the election is still 6 weeks away and people can change their mind.

While hardly a 'healthy' lead it is showing a consistent trend.

I would say Kean might be 3-5% ahead at this stage, which is just hovering on the outside of a reasonable MoE. The race certainly isn't over, but I would say it's slanting Rep now.

While the race is approaching the 50% mark I predict the next poll to be back in the low 40s for the both of them. Also, Menendez has approved his stance in the margin of error. It also showed Kean was a "Bush Republican" and Bush is unpopular. None of those ads are out yet. Tight race that really shouldnt be if we would have nominated Holt. I'll just call this race toss-up with a Kean advantage obviously. But I believe Menendez will be the ultimate winner.

Without leaners its 41-38% in favor of menendez so it looks like they may have pushed the leaners pretty hard to have that much of a disparity.

The script indicates they asked once.  That is not pushing leaners hard.

Still not much of a lead here for Kean. Tossup.
