Democrat Bill Clinton now has a 13 point lead over Republican incumbent George Bush — 52 to 39 percent — among registered voters in New Jersey.

IMAGE OF THE NEW JERSEY SHORE IMPROVES
Fully eighty-two percent of state residents say that the shore is one of New Jersey's best features, representing a 6 point increase since 1989. And while many New Jerseyans continue to express concern about the condition of the Jersey shore, there are strong indications that the shore's image is improving. For example, less than half of residents now say that the shore has been going downhill compared to three years ago when three-quarters felt that way. Also, 58 percent now say that ocean pollution is a very serious problem at the shore, which is a 15 point drop since 1989.
