"Independent Poll Shows Andy Kim Leading NJ Senate Race Over Tammy Murphy"

Rep. Andy Kim leads First Lady Tammy Murphy by 12 points in the first independent poll of the U.S. Senate Democratic primary in New Jersey, with incumbent Senator Bob Menendez trailing. The poll also highlights the influence of institutional support and fundraising abilities in the race, as well as racial divides in candidate support. The real question remains whether Murphy's fundraising and party endorsements can close the gap over the next four months leading up to the primary election.
