Everything You Need To Know About The 2021 Elections

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Emerson's poll also showed that 51 percent of voters felt taxes should be the top priority for the next governor, which could work to Ciattarelli's advantage.
40% : And while Monmouth's polling has consistently found Murphy with strong ratings regarding his handling of COVID-19, the latest poll showed the issue has become less pressing to voters, whereas issues like taxes, as well as jobs and the economy (mirroring a similar trend in Virginia), have become more important.
28% : Murphy doesn't really have an edge over Ciattarelli on those issues either, as the two candidates ran even on whom voters trusted more to handle jobs and the economy in Monmouth's polling, with more voters saying they trusted Ciattarelli than Murphy on taxes.
