New Poll Shows Congressman Andy Kim With a Massive Lead Over Senator Menendez
MOORESTOWN N.J. – Today, a poll by End Citizens United // Let America Vote (ECU // LAV) showed Congressman Andy Kim with a massive lead over indicted Senator Bob Menendez in the primary race for New Jersey’s Senate seat up in 2024.
“I’m running to give people in New Jersey a choice. The stakes in this election couldn’t be higher, and people understand that if Senator Menendez is the Democratic nominee, we could lose this seat. People understand that, and this poll makes it clear we are ready to move on from indictments and allegations of corruption,” said Congressman Kim. “This poll is a clear signal that voters are ready for a new kind of politics. A politics rooted in service, respect, and integrity. This poll showed that people in New Jersey are ready for leadership that’s looking out for them.”
ECU // LAV’s poll has Congressman Kim winning a head-to-head race with Senator Menendez with 63% of likely primary voters and Sen. Menendez with 10%; 28% of people who responded were undecided.
“Congressman Kim is building the strongest campaign, offering the sharpest contrast, and showing he has what it takes to win,” said ECU // LAV President Tiffany Muller. “The message from New Jersey Democrats is loud and clear: they strongly support Congressman Kim for U.S. Senate over corrupt Senator Menendez.”
An earlier poll conducted by VoteVets had Congressman Kim beating a generic Republican candidate in a general election, while Senator Menendez lost in the same head-to-head. You can read the details about that poll here.
