GALLOWAY TWP.--The clock is ticking away until one of the most historical presidential elections of our time.
And in anticipation of Tuesday's Election Day, the Hughes Center at Stockton and the Press of Atlantic City released their latest South Jersey poll.
Likely voters in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Congressional Districts of the state were surveyed from October 27th through the 29th.
The latest results show, Barack Obama with 51.5% in his favor, over John McCain who is trailing at 38.6%.
Compared to a similar poll taken in September, Obama has gained 3.4 percentage points, signaling undecided voters are swayed in his favor.
In the race for the Senate, incumbent Democrat Frank Lautenberg has a 9.5% lead over Republican Dick Zimmer. Lautenberg stands at 48%, Zimmer at 33.9%.
In district polling, 2nd District Republican Congressman Frank Lobiondo leads at 62% against his opponent, Dave Kurkowski, who stands at 26%.
And in district 3, Democratic Senator John Adler is in a dead heat with republican Chris Myers.
Myers has a slight lead at 38.5%, over Adler's 37.1%.
With a record number of registered voters this year in New Jersey, experts say a weak economy and a difference in political parties has made this year's vote most important.
"For the first time in a long time we really do have a big difference in the two political parties. And so people have to make real choices. We also have things happening in our environment, we have a war, we have job in the economy, that are really quite important in what's happening," says Sharon Schulman, Director of the William J. Hughes Center at Stockton.
If you are a registered voter but cannot make it to the polls on Tuesday, you still have a chance to request an absentee ballot at your county clerk's office on Monday until 3p.m.
Absentee ballots need to be submitted by the time the polls close, on Tuesday 8:00p.m.

Geez! Am I ever glad that I don’t live there anymore!

Amen (Jackson)! Although I do miss the hoagies. ;-)
Is that a Capt. Obvious I see coming for that brilliant headline?
I took a couple course there recently, one of the professors is a friend of the son of the Rosenbergs.

ditto to what you said!
Might be the poll in which my wife participated last week - except for LoBiondo, doesn’t sound like her responses though......
I actually graduated from Stockton in 2003 (returning to school to finish by Bachelor's degree after being in the workforce for a while) with a degree in Finance so I really didn't to have too much exposure to the far lefties sine I was in the business classes, but in the required "general studies" classes, the bias was obvious.
In fairness though, my challenges to the liberal ethos (when writing papers, challenging liberal assertions with facts in class) weren't met with any retribution as I managed to graduate with a 3.92GPA.
I wouldn't contribute a penny to the school though, since they had Ron "i invented kwanzaa" Karenga speak at the school (after I graduated). No mention of his criminal past in the school newspaper. It would be 'racist' to bring that up.
For the lest 20 years, all the Republicans have been voting with their feet, heading south to NC, FL, GA, etc. Lower taxes, better house prices...
