John Adler

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released a poll conducted by Grove Insight showing John Adler with a 4 point lead over Medford Mayor Chris Myers in New Jersey's 3rd congressional district. The survey of 400 likely voters was conducted on October 2 - 3 shows that Adler leads Myers 38 percent to 34 percent, with 29 percent undecided. The poll has a 4.9 percent margin of error.

In a sign that things are not going well for Republicans in New Jersey's third district, presidential candidate, Barack Obama has turned the tide and leads John McCain 47 percent to 39 percent.

"This poll demonstrates that the more voters know about Chris Myers' record of raising property taxes the less they like him," said Carrie James, regional press secretary at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "John Adler embodies the strong middle class values of South Jersey, and that's why his message is clearly resonating with voters."
