Keep in mind that John Kerry won the state by 7 points with Nader taking one more. If the Messiah cannot keep New Jersey in the solid Blue category, he may well be toast. From Rasmussen.
The gap between the two major presidential contenders has narrowed to 5 percentage points in New Jersey, as some of Barack Obama’s support appears to have slipped off into the undecided column over the past month.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of New Jersey voters, taken Monday night, shows Obama ahead of Republican candidate John McCain 44% to 39%. Last month, the Democratic hopeful had a 48% to 39% lead over his GOP rival.
Now 11% of voters describe themselves as undecided, up from 6% in early June. Five percent (5%) favor some other candidate.
But what’s this, tucked in at the bottom?
If leaners are included, Obama leads McCain by an even narrower 47% to 44%.
Three points? In New Jersey?
Put Rudy on the ticket and the GOP picks up 15 electoral votes in the Garden State.
