New Poll Finds Trump With Slight Lead Over Biden in New Jersey

  |   By Lou Dobbs Staff

Donald Trump has taken a slight lead over Joe Biden in blue New Jersey, according to new polling from Coefficient.

Trump has spoken about making a serious play for New Jersey in this election and if this poll is accurate, it looks like he has a chance to do so.

It’s also important to point out that this poll was conducted before the debate on Thursday night which exposed Biden’s mental decline to the country.

Dems Are Going to Flip Out: NJ Poll Has Shocking, New Numbers in Presidential Race

If there was ever a state that one would bet their money on to stay in the grip of the Democrats, it might be New Jersey.

But now there’s a poll out that is truly shocking; it has Trump up in New Jersey by one point.

Trump is leading Biden 41 to 40, when one counts in Robert F. Kennedy Jr at 7 percent and undecided at 13. If there was ever a “wow,” that would be it. In the 2020 election, Biden was up about 16 percent. If it’s moved that close, that’s incredible.

The poll is of likely voters, so that’s good. It’s even from before the debate, so that hasn’t influenced it. That might even make the numbers move more in Trump’s favor. CNN’s snap poll after the debate said 67 percent thought that Trump won, compared to 33 for Biden.

I’m a Mid-Atlantic guy… I do think this is an outlier but the momentum is real. NY, NJ, yes even DE are not the same as CT or RI. Less white, less college educated, and aside from parts of NJ, much more working class, middle income. We aren’t exactly “coastal elite”. https://t.co/UAws10cOmu

If even New Jersey is in play, we’re looking at GOP+5 or better in Virginia. The bottom has fallen out for the Democrat Party. https://t.co/NpgvfV5tqv
