Kyrillos Continues Statewide Summertime Jobs Tour

Most New Jersey voters have yet to engage this year’s U.S. Senate contest, Save Jerseyans.

All the more reason for the challenger, State Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-Monmouth), to crisscross New Jersey and drum-up support.

He was in Hoboken on Sunday touring the Garden Street Mew’s Farmers Market and Pier A at the Waterfront…

The day before, he visited the GOP campaign booth at the State Fair in the Meadowlands; on Friday, he dropped in on New Jersey fisherman. Any successful statewide Republican candidate needs strong support from the Christie “Gold Coast” – Cape May, Atlantic, Ocean, and Kyrillos’s home county of Monmouth.

Kyrillos’s campaign continues to bet on the Governor’s popularity; he’s made a point of repeatedly comparing Christie’s job policies and President Obama’s dismal performance. The incumbent Bob Menendez, for his part, is following the President’s lead by focusing as little as possible on the economy and, instead, trying to shore-up the support of his base. Menendez hasn’t commented directly on whether he thinks the Administration’s immigration power grab is constitutional. It’s safe to assume he doesn’t care.

Not that any of it has had a substantive effect. As of yet, the dynamics in this race haven’t changed much from when it started. The latest public survey results (from about one month ago) showed only 25% of statewide voters recognize Kyrillos’s name. Nevertheless, Menendez’s approval rating is still well below the 50% mark.
