Fulop’s post was in response to an AtlasIntel poll that showed Democratic candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) leading by only 0.9 points. “AtlasIntel received an A+ rating and was ranked #1 in overall pollster quality in the U.S. for the 2024 election cycle,” Fulop commented on X. The mayor of Jersey City was Sherrill’s onetime Democratic primary opponent.
“If Trump wasn’t in the White House, Ciattarelli would be up by 12 points,” Fulop said on the *Hold That Thought* podcast in early October.
Several of Fulop and Sherrill’s New Jersey Democratic colleagues have crossed party lines in the governor’s race. North Bergen Mayor Nick Sacco, Dover Mayor Jim Dodd, Garfield Mayor Everett Garnto Jr., and others have endorsed Ciattarelli for the governorship.
Sherrill also made a gaffe on Charlamagne tha God’s podcast when she was unable to confirm or deny that she had made $7 million in stock trading since joining the House of Representatives in 2019.
New Jersey has historically been a Democratic stronghold. Former President Joe Biden won the state by 15.94% in 2020. However, former Vice President Kamala Harris won the state by only 5.91%.
New Jersey had the biggest swing to the right in the 2020 election after New York.
