Primary Day 2025 is almost upon us, Save Jerseyans, and the polling data (public and private) continues to suggest that the GOP nominating contest isn’t especially close with four weeks left to vote.
“Jack Ciattarelli currently leads Bill Spadea 54%-23%, with Jon Bramnick receiving 10% and Mario Kranjac 2%,” explains the National Research, Inc., the outfit which performs the Ciattarelli gubernatorial campaign’s internal polling. “Jack’s 31-point advantage represents his largest lead yet. Among voters who are favorable to President Trump, or approve of the job the President is doing, Jack is winning by 32 points.”
His chief rival, former NJ 101.5 host Bill Spadea, is in a distant second place position with 23% support statewide among registered Republicans polled.
State Senator Jon Bramnick of Union County is further back with 10%, and ex-Mayor Mario Kranjac of Bergen County is registering nominally with 2%.

Ciattarelli critics will understandably dismiss these latest results as biased (since they’re the product of the campaign’s pollster), but for what it’s worth, Save Jerseyans, the limited body of public polling released to date hasn’t told a fundamentally different story.
The most recent public survey results from the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at Rutgers University (April 2025) found Ciattarelli ahead of Spadea by a proximately similar margin (42% to 12%).
