In the race for New Jersey governor, Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli are tied at 43%, according to an Emerson College poll out Thursday morning.It is the first mainstream poll to put the head-to-head race in a dead heat, and the cycle's first to not have Sherrill leading, either in the democratic primary or the general election."A tightly contested race in the Garden State," Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. "Young voters, under 40, break for Sherrill by large margins, 58% to 24%. The race tightens to seven points among voters in their 40s, with Sherrill leading 47% to 40%, then Ciattarelli flips the script among voters over 50, leading Sherrill 52% to 36% among this group."
If Ciattarelli's campaign team is smart, they'll take some hints from Trump's 2024 campaign run and go the 'bro route' between now and November. That means chasing the young male vote and doing the 'bro podcasts', college campuses', social influencer meetups, etc. to put your name and agenda out there and get them to the polls.
