Quinnipiac Poll: “Unless the sky falls, Booker can start looking for a Washington apartment”
Newark Mayor Cory Booker will be New Jersey’s next U.S. Senator if the results of the Quinnipiac poll of likely voters released this morning hold true through October 16.
Booker is leading Congressman Frank Pallone by 54%-17% in the August 13 Democratic primary with Congressman Rush Holt garnering support from 15% of the respondents and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver with 5%. 65% of Democratic voters say their choice is firm. 8% are undecided.
In the Republican primary, former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan leads Dr. Alieta Eck 74%-10%.
In the October 16 special election, Booker is leading Lonegan 54%-29% among registered voters.
Thank you Captain Obvious!

Frank wins the primary because Booker supporters are overconfident and stay home. Plus Frank has the support of Patrick Kennedy, the Lautenberg clan, the Asbury Park Mess, and MMM. However, Frank loses to Steve Lonegan because Vic Scudiery hates Frank so much he organizes and finances “Democrats For Lonegan”. People will get confused and vote for Lonegan because they think he is a Democrat. The real winner this election – Vic Scudiery.
