New Jersey Poll has Obama up 53-38

Galloway Township, NJ – President Barack Obama leads his Republican challenger Mitt Romney in New Jersey by a margin of 53 percent to 38 percent according to a poll released by the Stockton Polling Institute based on a survey of 811 likely voters.
In the race for the United States Senator from New Jersey, incumbent Democratic Senator Robert Menendez leads his Republican challenger Joseph Kyrillos by a margin of 52 to 30 percent. Kyrillos is a state senator serving in the New Jersey legislature.

Methodology
Interviews are conducted at the Stockton Polling Institute by live interviewers calling from the Stockton College campus. The poll was conducted with 811 likely voters from October 12th to October 18th. Interviewers called both land lines and cell phones. All prospective respondent households in the source telephone list have the same chance of joining the sample because of the random digital dialing system (RDD). The survey has a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent at 95% confidence level. Data is weighted according to United States Census Bureau demographics for New Jersey voter age population.

And those people are going to actually show up to the polls.

Go back and look at the actual numbers in 2008 and 2009 of total votes in the Presidential election and the actual number of total votes cast in the following year in the race for the Governor.

The only reason Christie won is because a lot of liberals and progressives here did not get off their butts and go vote. We know what hell is because of their lack of civic duty.

Voting matters - ask any progressive like me that lives in NJ.
