Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-NJ, continues to lead Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli as the New Jersey governor's race heads into the home stretch.

Sherrill leads Ciattarelli, 50% to 44%, according to a new Quinnipiac poll released this week. A Quinnipiac poll last month had Sherrill leading Ciattarelli 49% to 41%.

The two are running to replace Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy, who is term limited.

The poll found Ciattarelli leads Sherrill among independents, 48% to 42%. A gender gap exists, with women backing Sherrill, 57% to 36% and men supporting Ciattarelli, 53% to 42%.

Ciattarelli supporters are more enthusiastic than Sherrill supporters, with 91% of Ciattarelli supporters saying they are very enthusiastic or somewhat enthusiastic about his candidacy, compared to 86% for Sherrill.
