New Jersey voters feel nervous, uneasy leading up to Election Day

New Jersey voters are largely anxious about the upcoming election, according to recent press releases from the Eagleton Institute of Politics Center for Public Interest Polling (ECPIP).

The majority of New Jersey voters feel negatively about the upcoming election. According to recent polling by the ECPIP, 32 percent of New Jersey voters are "always" worried about politics, while 35 percent are worried "most of the time." Only 3 percent say they are never worried about politics.

Specifically, voters are concerned about the future of democracy in the U.S. and the prospect of political violence following the election results.

"Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike are all worried about the same issue here but likely foresee different solutions and likely blame the other side as the culprit … It is hard for voters to see much hope for America's future, especially in the coming weeks," Ashley Koning, an assistant research professor and director of the ECPIP, said.

New Jersey's 14 electoral votes will likely be cast for Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris in this year's presidential election. Democrats are also likely to win the state's Senate race between Democratic Rep. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) and Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw (R-N.J.), with 49 percent of voters saying they would vote or already have voted for Kim and 26 percent saying the same for Bashaw.

Of New Jersey's registered voters, 10 percent say they already voted, and 79 percent say they will "definitely vote." Most New Jersey voters favor Democratic candidates.

"Despite pre-election polls showing a statistical dead heat on the national stage and in every battleground state right now, New Jersey will likely remain a win in the blue column this election cycle," Koning said.
