The latest Quinnipiac poll out today has bad news and worse news for the GOP. Menendez's lead over Kean Jr has grown to 40%-34% (from 40%-36% last month). Take this number with a big grain of salt since most voters don't know anything about either candidate. One interesting find is that 26% of Kean's supporters picked him MAINLY because they liked his dad.
The news only gets worse from there. New Jersey voters disapprove of Cheney by 63%-27%. As the poll director notes, New Jersey may be the only state where Bush does even worse than his face-shooting friend. He's got an embarrassingly low 69%-26% disapproval rating. Even 34% of Republicans and 78% of independents disapprove.
Jersey voters think going to Iraq was the wrong move by a 63%-31% margin, and they disapprove of Bush's handling of Iraq by 71-25%.
