NJ-03: John Adler Pulls Ahead of Chris Myers in Latest DCCC Poll

DCCC Press:

In the last week, John Adler's lead over Chris Myers has grown to an eight percent lead.  Last Monday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released a poll showing that the race between John Adler and Chris Myers favored Adler 38 percent to 34 percent and with 29 percent of voters still undecided.  One week later, the undecided voters have begun to decide and there is a clear preference towards Adler.  A new DCCC survey of 400 likely voters conducted by Grove Insight from October 15 -16 shows that Adler leads Myers 43 percent to 35 percent, with 22 percent undecided (4.9 percent margin of error).

"Clearly, as voters become more aware of the choice between John Adler and Chris Myers they choose Adler," said Carrie James, regional press secretary at the Democratic Congressional Committee.  "New Jersey families are eager for change and Chris Myers' support for George Bush's failed war and economic policies are tanking his already struggling campaign."

John Adler was endorsed by the Press of Atlantic City saying that Myers has run a "disturbingly combative and negative campaign" and Adler "offers the cleanest break from the failed policies of the past eight years." [10/19] He was also endorsed by the Philadelphia Inquirer saying he "has the right views on the most pressing national issues." [10/20]
