In the competitive race for New Jersey governor, Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill is leading Republican nominee Jack Ciattarelli by 8 points according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll. The race has drawn significant attention and funding, with the Democratic National Committee doubling its investment to support Sherrill amid rising concerns over energy costs and government ethics. Ciattarelli has criticized Sherrill for lacking a clear agenda and has launched ads targeting her stance on LGBTQ education. Both candidates are addressing the issue of skyrocketing electricity rates, which has become a central theme in the campaign. With national party support intensifying on both sides, the final stretch of this race promises to be fiercely contested.
