In the race for Rep. Marge Roukema's 5th district House seat, Republican E. Scott Garrett leads Democrat Anne Ricks Sumers by a 48%-33% margin, according to a poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

The Sumers campaign disputes the NRCC numbers and released their own internal poll from last week, which shows the race in a statistical dead heat, Garrett 42%, Sumers 40%. The Democratic poll shows Sumers leading Garrett by eight points in the Bergen County portion of the district, and losing by 21 points in the other three counties.

Poll Ping!

In the GOP poll, Garrett leads 48-33.

In the Dem poll, Garrett leads 42-40.

In reality, Garrett probably has a 7-10 point advantage.

If you want on or off my poll ping list, let me know!

Interestingly, just a few days ago I saw Jennifer Palmieri list this race as one of two that really seemed to be swinging the Dems' way. Wonder if she was blowing smoke, or if this poll is just an outlier?
