Stockton U Poll: “More Bad News for Bob Menendez”
Hugin Leads Menendez by 10 Points in South Jersey District

MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ — Marine veteran and job creator Bob Hugin is leading corrupt, career politician Bob Menendez by a staggering 10 points, 46% to 36%, in New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District, according to a Stockton University poll released today. This represents a 33-point swing from the Democratic House candidate in one of the country’s most competitive districts.

Hugin Press Secretary Nick Iacovella released the following statement:

“This poll confirms what Democrats, Independents, and Republicans already know: Marine veteran and job creator Bob Hugin is the better Bob in this race. Voters are sick and tired of corrupt, career politician Bob Menendez disgracing and embarrassing New Jersey,” said Iacovella. “Menendez, one of the most unethical Senator in the history of our state, remains wildly unpopular among New Jerseyans with more than half of voters viewing him unfavorably. As more and more voters discover that both Democrats and Republicans on the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee found that he violated federal law, they are concluding that Menendez doesn’t deserve another six years in Washington.”

The Committee found that Menendez took $1 million in campaign contributions and illegal gifts and abused the power of his office to help his biggest campaign donor ─ a convicted felon who stole $73 million in a Medicare fraud scheme, burned patients’ retinas with lasers, and scammed seniors.

“That’s why a growing number of Democrats are publicly endorsing Bob Hugin because they know that this race is more important than any one political party. It’s about what’s best for the people of New Jersey. Bob Hugin will be an independent voice in the Senate who will always put New Jersey first and work with people in both parties to get results,” Iacovella added.

POLL OVERVIEW:

• Hugin leads Menendez 46% to 36%

• Over half of voters have an unfavorable view of Menendez, 56% to 29%

• Hugin’s lead represents a staggering 33-point swing from the Democratic House candidate’s lead

Bob Hugin, a Marine Corps Veteran and business leader who has created thousands of New Jersey jobs, is running for U.S. Senate against incumbent Senator Bob Menendez. For more information visit bobhugin.com.
