9/11 AFTER SIX MONTHS Life Has Not Returned To Normal
The terrorist attacks of September 11th are still very much a part of New Jerseyans’ lives after six months. According to a new Star-Ledger/Eagleton-Rutgers Poll, some emotions continue to run high, and life has not returned to normal for most. Only about one-third of New Jerseyans feel their lives have returned to normal, while nearly a quarter of them feel life will NEVER return to normal. These feelings are little changed from last October when 25 percent said life had returned to normal, and a similar quarter said life never would.

Views of Senator Robert Torricelli and his fundraising activities have not improved since last spring, even after the five-year federal investigation into his 1996 campaign finally drew to a close in January with no charges filed against him. Despite the lack of charges, most New Jerseyans who know about the investigations still believe Torricelli did something wrong – if not illegal, then unethical.

McGREEVEY HOLDS COMMANDING LEAD IN GUBERNATORIAL: SCHUNDLER LISTING DEMOCRATS HOLD NARROW ADVANTAGE IN ASSEMBLY RACES
Jim McGreevey has widened his lead and now holds a commanding advantage over his Republican opponent Bret Schundler going into the final days of the campaign for Governor. According to the most recent Star-Ledger/Eagleton-Rutgers Poll, the Woodbridge Democrat is ahead by a 17 percentage point margin—53 to 36 percent— with just 8 percent still undecided and 3 percent intending to vote for some other candidate in Tuesday’s election. McGreevey held just a 12-point lead over Schundler in Eagleton’s mid-October survey.
