THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN NEW JERSEY: ISSUES AND CHARACTER
New Jersey voters are making clear distinctions among the presidential candidates based on the issues that are being discussed in the campaign. On economic issues, Clinton is favored on controlling health care costs and providing jobs, while Bush is seen as better able to hold down taxes, and Perot is identified as the best to deal with the budget deficit problem.

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.
