Frank Pallone has been elected and re-elected every two years for a long time now. Most years Pallone wins by margins that any congressman would dream of. When Pallone started his campaign this year against challenger Anna Little, there is no doubt in my mind that he thought his seat was just as safe as it as always been.
Yesterday, that idea came crashing down. Even with Pallone’s huge financial advantage over Little, this is now, just two weeks out, a real race that is too close to call.
PolitickerNJ.com is reporting that Adam Geller’s National Research poll is showing Pallone to lead Little by only 1 point, 44% – 43%. But most importantly, Save Jerseyans, among voters who self identified as most likely to vote this year, Little leads Pallone 48% – 40%.
This will clearly be a turnout game, and is not a toss up that could rival the NJ-3 race for the biggest congressional nail-biter in the state. Stay tuned.
From a REPUBLICAN pollster. What else could he say? I wonder how skewed the data is and how many republicans he polled.
You guys have no shame.
The only poll that counts Rick is the one on Nov. 2nd.
Ain't that the truth!
Nov. 2nd is the poll that counts.
Pallone lost the Sunday debate, and he will loose the debate this Thursday in Red Bank. If he even shows after the shellacking Anna gave him Sunday.
Agreed, and all signs are pointing to the race to be tight. If we can't all agree that Anna will win I think we can agree that the race will be tight, potentially recount worthy.
