Democrats enjoy a 24 to 16 majority in the Senate. The Republicans need a net gain of four seats to tie and five to take control.

In the Assembly, the score is 48 to 32. The GOP needs to add eight seats to pull even and nine to take the lead.

Pundits have said that maybe a few seats are in play, but the most likely scenario is that almost all incumbents get re-elected.

About half of registered voters are independents, and NJ voter are very good at splitting tickets. Local media often endorse candidates from both parties.
