There is less than three months to go until Election Day. New Jersey is one of only two governor’s contests this year.

The results of a new poll by long-time pollster Patrick Murray, founder of StimSight Research, found that Rep. Mikie Sherrill has a 6-point lead over Republican Jack Ciattarelli – 48 to 42 (9% undecided).

Murray discussed the results with Eric Landskroner.
