As New Jersey’s 2025 gubernatorial contest tightens, Republican Jack Ciattarelli has notched endorsements from several Democratic mayors and local officials, even as most recent independent polls still show Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill with a mid–single-digit lead. One Emerson survey finds the race statistically tied. Conservative activist Scott Presler says affordability concerns are energizing GOP turnout.
The New Jersey race for governor has narrowed as Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill campaigns with high-profile allies and receives Barack Obama's endorsement, while Republican Jack Ciattarelli gains support from Donald Trump. A recent Fox News poll shows Sherrill leading 50% to 45% among likely voters. The contest, one of only two gubernatorial elections this year, is seen as a bellwether for upcoming midterms.

The scandal has intensified the race with three weeks until Election Day.
