Only Democrat John Adler may face a contest
Despite voter dissatisfaction with Washington politics, most of the members of New Jersey's Congressional delegation do not appear in great danger of losing their seats in November, according to a Rutgers-Eagleton Poll released Friday.
The poll found that only freshman Rep. John Adler (D-3rd.) is likley to face a difficult re-election bid.
While 33 percent of registered New Jersey voters say they will vote for a Democrat for Congress, and 31 percent say they will vote for a Republican, statewide results are misleading, according to polltakers.
Across the five congressional districts held by Republicans, voters plan to vote for the incumbents by a 40 percent to 25 percent margin, while across the eight Democratic districts, voters intend to vote for the incumbents by an even larger margin, 41 percent to 22 percent. Significantly, however, nearly 20 percent do not know how they will vote, and 10 percent say they do not plan to vote at all.
