US EditionSherrill Leading Ciattarelli by 8 Points in New Jersey Governor Race: Survey
NEW JERSEY, JUL 29 – Mikie Sherrill holds strong Democratic support with 87% backing, while independent voters show a 7-point shift toward Jack Ciattarelli, according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll.
- A poll conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University from July 17 to 23, 2025, indicates that Democrat Mikie Sherrill holds an eight-point advantage over her Republican challenger, Jack Ciattarelli, in the New Jersey gubernatorial contest.
- The race follows a background where Republicans have narrowed the gap in New Jersey after improving in the 2024 presidential election, but Democrats still hold a registration advantage.
- A recent survey of 806 registered voters found that 45% intend to vote for the Democratic candidate, while 37% support the Republican contender, and 16% remain uncertain; voter preferences largely reflect party affiliations.
- Dan Cassino, FDU government professor and poll director, said Ciattarelli is focusing on local issues to appeal to independents while balancing support from Trump voters, as nationalizing the race hurts him overall.
- The poll suggests a competitive race with Sherrill maintaining a consistent lead, but Ciattarelli's local issue focus may help him gain undecided voters before the November 4 election.
