Phil Murphy could be in worse shape, Save Jerseyans, especially if we had a media that wasn’t almost totally in the bag for Democrats. Still, he’s undeniably in a weaker reelection position than the last New Jersey governor to win a second term.
That’s according to the Monmouth University Poll; on Wednesday, the Patrick Murray-led outfit reported that only 48% of registered voter New Jerseyans thought Murphy should get a second term. That’s compared to 59% who thought Christie deserved reelection in April 2013.
