We’re starting to get a trickle of polling data for Election 2025, Save Jerseyans.
RealClearPolitics is reporting new survey results from M3 Strategies showing 2021 GOP gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli out in front of his leading intra-party opponents with a 57% favorability rating…
“The poll, conducted by M3 Strategies with 401 likely Republican voters in New Jersey from Jan. 23-24, found that Ciattarelli had 57% favorability among Republicans, with only 15% unfavorable. Ciattarelli previously ran for New Jersey governor in 2021 but lost by 3.2% to incumbent Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy. In the 2025 governor’s election, the Republican gubernatorial candidate will face a new opponent, as Murphy has reached the two-consecutive-term limit.
The candidate with the second-highest favorability was Bill Spadea, a radio talk show host, with 35% favorability and 18% unfavorable. Trailing Ciattarelli and Spadea were New Jersey state Sen. Jon Bramnick, with 18% favorability, and former state Sen. Ed Durr, with 15% favorability. Both Bramnick and Durr suffered from much lower name recognition than Spadea and Ciattarelli, meaning that over the coming months, favorability could rise for the candidates as New Jerseyans get to know the field.”
A recent Emerson poll found Ciattarelli in first place with support from 26% of Republican voters followed by Spadea (12%) and Bramnick (4%), though a large percentage of GOP voters remain undecided.
The first GOP debate co-sponsored by SaveJersey.com is scheduled for next Tuesday, February 4th at Rider University.
