A new Quinnipiac poll in New Jersey shows the race for governor is getting closer with less than three weeks until Election Day.

Democrat Mikie Sherrill now leads Republican Jack Ciattarelli by six percentage points, down from eight last month.

One recent poll shows the race is tied.

Ciattarelli was live in the News 12 studios Thursday to answer viewer questions as the race enters its final stretch to determine who will succeed Gov. Phil Murphy.
