NEW JERSEYANS’ POLICY PRIORITIES; RATINGS OF ELECTED OFFICIALS; PREVIEW OF THE 1994 U. S. SENATE ELECTION
Taxes are the main issue New Jerseyan's would like to talk about if they had an opportunity to attend a town meeting with Governor Whitman. However, a majority of the state's residents are not able to offer a suggestion on how the Governor can reduce the state's budget. Among the suggestions for cutbacks, the two that are mentioned most frequently by New Jerseyans are various cuts related to the salaries and the number of state employees, and reductions or reforms in welfare programs.

FLORIO MAINTAINS LEAD
With just a few days left before the election, voters favor the incumbent Jim Florio over the challenger Christine Todd Whitman by a margin of 48 to 39 percent among likely voters. However, there are signs that many New Jerseyans are still in the process of selecting a candidate to vote for. Since a poll taken in mid-October Florio's support has declined 4 percentage points and the percentage of undecided voters has increased from 8 to 13 percent. In addition, when different types of voters describe who they are going to vote for, the margin between the candidates changes.
