THE MOOD OF THE NEW JERSEY ELECTORATE — IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE
As New Jersey voters think about who to vote for on November 3, their feelings about the current economic and political situation in the country will help to guide their decisions. An indicator of the mood of the electorate is that 8-in-10 registered voters say things in the country are "off on the wrong track" and about 8-in-10 say that they are disappointed, frustrated, and angry about government and politics. About two-thirds of voters feel it's time for a change from the 12 year Republican control of the White House.

CLINTON LEADS BUSH IN NEW JERSEY
Democrat Bill Clinton now has a 13 point lead over Republican incumbent George Bush — 52 to 39 percent — among registered voters in New Jersey. However, about 1-in-4 registered voters might change their minds before election day. These results are a reversal from four months ago when Bush enjoyed a 21 point lead over Clinton — 55 to 34 percent.
