1Voters split on who will win as Sherrill and Ciattarelli race to the finish in N.J. governor’s contest

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – New Jersey voters are nearly evenly divided over who they believe will win the state’s governor’s race, with just a one-point gap separating Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli in voter expectations, a new Rutgers-Eagleton Poll finds.

Forty-three percent of voters say they believe Sherrill will win, while 42% think Ciattarelli will come out on top — a statistical tie that underscores how uncertain the outcome remains less than two weeks before Election Day.

The narrow perception gap mirrors the closeness of the race itself, where Sherrill leads Ciattarelli 50% to 45% among likely voters, within the poll’s margin of error.
