THE 1995 NEW JERSEY ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS COMPETITION FOR THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS
Statewide, about equal percentages of likely New Jersey voters say they will vote for Republicans (37%) as say they will vote for Democrats (38%) in the Assembly races in their districts and 1-in-5 voters are still undecided. At this time the independent voters who could be the key to winning in some districts, are not showing a preference for either party and 1-in-5 of these independent voters remain undecided.

Eight-in-ten New Jerseyans would like to see a reduction (62%) or a halt (16%) to immigration to this country. In addition, while 8-in-10 say illegal immigration is a major problem in this country, fewer—3-in-10—see it as a major problem in New Jersey.

NEW JERSEYANS VIEWS ON POPE JOHN PAUL II CATHOLIC RESIDENTS REJECT POPE’S POSITION ON THE DEATH PENALTY, WOMEN PRIESTS, AND MARRIED PRIESTS
As a moral and religious leader, Pope John Paul II is influential in the lives of 3-in-4 Catholics, but only about 1-in-5 New Jerseyans of other faiths view the Pope as being important to them. While 6-in-10 New Jerseyans give the Pope positive job performance ratings as the leader of the Catholic church, Catholics are more positive in their assessment of Pope John II than non-Catholics.

NEW JERSEYANS’ FAVOR A THIRD POLITICAL PARTY BRADLEY AND POWELL ATTRACTIVE AS THIRD PARTY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
Six-in-ten of New Jerseyans favor the formation of a third political party to challenge Democrats and Republicans for President, Congress and state offices. A majority of state residents would consider voting for Senator Bill Bradley (58%) or General Colin Powell (56%) if they ran as third party presidential candidates in 1996, but are less likely to support third party candidacies of Ross Perot or Jesse Jackson.
