Why Sen. Bob Menendez is still favored to win in New Jersey

A Republican winning a US Senate race in deep blue New Jersey? It hasn’t happened since 1972.

Yet new polls show Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez in trouble against Republican Bob Hugin. Three high-quality polls released over the last two days give Menendez a lead of anywhere from just 2 to 11 points.

Indeed, it’s plausible that Menendez does lose. He is, however, strongly favored to win re-election, even at this point. CONT.
