“But Pallone feels the opposite and believes he is in touch with his constituents, especially students, considering the University falls within his district’s territory.
Ley him THINK that!
News spreads FAST when fellow graduates can’t get jobs!
Pallone didn’t do much to try to save Fort Monmouth. Now 5000 good paying jobs are going to Maryland along with the NJ State Income Tax, Sales Tax and local taxes that all those workers paid. Also kiss goodbuy all the $$$$ that fort employees spent with local business.
A Monmouth University poll shows Frank Pallone leading Anna Little by 53% to 41% among likely voters, even though Little leads among independent likely voters by 51% to 38%; Monmouth risibly claims that Little leads among Republican likely voters by only 83% to 13% while Pallone leads among Democrat likely voters by 89% to 8%. But the biggest problem with the poll is that its likely-voter sample (by self-reported party ID) was 41% Democrat, 22% Republican and 37% independent, meaning that they oversampled Democrats and undersampled Republicans. I would guess that, in a poll with a sample closer to what turnout is likely to look like on November 2 and with Pallone not winning as many Republicans as Monmouth claims, Pallone’s lead would be around 48% to 46%, making this a much closer race than the pundits believe.
