TRENTON -- A new poll shows Democrat Phil Murphy and Republican Kim Guadagno remain the clear favorites to win their parties' nominations for New Jersey governor with about a month to go before the primary elections in the race to succeed Gov. Chris Christie.

But 57 percent of state's voters still don't know enough about either to form an opinion, according to the survey from Quinnipiac University, released Wednesday morning.

I assume this NJ vote is one between straight up Strychnine and something less toxic?

The Democrat will win, naturally.

Only reason Christie won was b/c Corzine was such a disaster for the state.

Now, since Bridgegate, the $0.23 gas tax, and his general absence during the POTUS campaign, he’s disliked on both sides of the aisle. And that stench is going to cling to Guadano as hit Lt Gov.

If a Dem wins, that will be the final straw for living in this s**thole state.

NJ always elects corrupt leftwingers.

I've lived here for 45 years now. I don't think I've ever been more disinterested in a Governor race. It just doesn't seem to make a difference. Everything connected with government gets worse but taxes keep going up.

It’s sad. I live in NJ as well. You have to hold on some hope.
