This Week in Politics: A Single-Digit Showdown for Senate in NJ

WNYC News | Sep 22, 2018

With all the focus on efforts to flip the House this November, and the media coverage of contested congressional seats in New Jersey and New York, one could be forgiven for forgetting there's a U.S. Senate race going on in the Garden State. And according to the latest Quinnipiac Poll, it's a single digit contest.

In the late August poll of likely voters, Democratic Senator Bob Menendez leads over Republican challenger, former pharmaceutical executive Bob Hugin by just 6 percentage points.

This week, Patrick Murray – the Director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute – joins David Furst for a closer look at New Jersey's senate race.
