(The Center Square) – Former President Donald Trump appears to be chipping away at President Joe Biden’s northeastern blue wall with gains in New Hampshire, Virginia and now New Jersey, according to recent polls.
Amid mounting pressure from fellow Democrats for Biden to exit the presidential race, the latest polling from some key blue states may not be the news the Biden campaign longs to hear.
A recent poll of likely New Jersey voters shows Trump leading Biden 41%-40%, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 7%. The poll, conducted by co/efficient, a market research company, surveyed over 800 likely voters June 26-27 right before the presidential debate.
Traditionally a solid Democratic stronghold, the Garden State hasn’t voted for a Republican in a presidential election since 1988. There are 14 electoral college votes at stake.
A poll conducted in late March by Emerson College shows that New Jersey voters may have started drifting away from the president earlier, with Trump only trailing Biden by 5% (41%-36%) and Kennedy at 8%.
