#HUGIN SENATE FULL#

New Jersey voters haven't sent a Republican senator to Washington in four decades.īut Menendez, who is seeking a third full term, is being dragged down by favorability ratings in the 30s - compared with about half of voters who view him unfavorably - after his corruption trial last year that ended in a hung jury. Women back Menendez by 57 percent to 38 percent over Hugin, and the incumbent leads 67 percent to 26 percent among non-white voters, in the Quinnipiac poll. Support for the candidates is evenly split between men and white voters. That lead decreases to five points, 37 percent to 32 percent, among registered voters, and when the four-point margin of error is taken into consideration, 'the election remains anyone's game,' poll director Krista Jenkins said in a statement.Ī Quinnipiac University poll released later in the day gave Menendez an 11-point lead - 53 percent to 42 percent - among likely voters, propped up by women and non-white voters. Bob Menendez, the incumbent Democrat, appears to hold an advantage over Republican challenger Bob Hugin, although a pair of polls released Wednesday show differing amounts of separation between the two.Ī Fairleigh Dickinson University poll released in the morning said Menendez leads Hugin among likely voters 43 percent to 37 percent. With less than five weeks until Election Day, Sen.
