Rasmussen - New Jersey: Kerry 51% Bush 39%

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.

Thanks for the good news.

that's a solid hit at the notion that NJ is a swing state this cycle.

I kept telling others that other poll was bullshit. Rasmussen may not be the most reliable, but this poll is much more accurate than that other one.

Yeah, New Jersey, :yourock:
