Every Republican House member from New Jersey is in danger of losing their seat in this years midterm election, according to a new Monmouth University poll.
The survey released on Monday finds Democrats with a 19-point advantage statewide on the generic ballot, with 54 percent of respondents saying they plan to or are leaning toward voting for Democrats, compared to only 34 percent for Republicans.
Monmouth pollers say this puts all five of New Jersey's GOP-held seats at risk.
This is pretty astounding. Not only are New Jersey Democrats doing better on the generic House ballot statewide, but the shift is coming almost entirely from districts currently held by the GOP, said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. If these results hold, we could be down to just one or two or maybe even zero Republican members in the state congressional delegation after November.
