Good news - Rasmussen NJ - Kerry 51 - Bush 39

[Jersey Devil]

April 21, 2004--In New Jersey, Senator John F. Kerry leads President George W. Bush 51% to 39%. Four years ago, Bush lost the state by sixteen points to Al Gore, 56% to 40%.
When it comes to issues of national defense and the War on Terror, Garden State voters are evenly divided as to who would do a better job--45% say Bush and another 45% say Kerry. Nationally, Bush has a significant edge on this issue.

Voters prefer Kerry on the economy by a 48% to 41% margin. Nationally, Bush has a modest edge when it comes to managing the economy.

A third of New Jersey voters (34%) rate the economy as good or excellent. Another 34% say fair and 33% poor. Those numbers are very close to the national average at this time. Rasmussen Reports updates the economic confidence of Americans on a daily basis.

2. Encouraging to see a poll with Kerry over the 50% mark

Busting through that number is usually a big challenge.

3. The NJ campaign is over before the primary

There won't be many campaign events here, fundraisers only.

We'll have to look to our local congressional races for excitement.

6. I wonder...

...if the Rasmussen poll guy is related to McG's mouthpiece, Micah? Anyone know about that?

7. He isn't

Actually, politicsnj.com said that several people e-mailed them asking that very same question so they put it on their website saying that there is no relation between the two.
