The incumbent governor, Phil Murphy (the guy who told Tucker Carlson the Constitution is above his pay grade) had held a double digit lead for reelection all year, but with 11 days left until the election his lead has suddenly narrowed to just six points. 50% is still not a bad place for Murphy to be, but this could indicate that momentum has shifted to his opponent and that the Biden administration has become a drag on him like it has McAuliffe in Virginia. If this is the case it remains to be seen if there is enough time left for Ciattarelli to squeak out a victory in a state that Biden won by 16 points just last year. During this same time in 2009 when the Democrats popularity was similarly falling Chris Christie ended up defeating incumbent John Corzine.
