.A new poll shows Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill are currently tied in the race for New Jersey governor. Ciattarelli will prevail.
A recent Emerson College/PIX11/The Hill poll, released, indicated that Democrat candidate Mikie Sherrill and Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli are tied at 43% each in the New Jersey gubernatorial race — with 11% of voters undecided. The poll is the first widely recognized survey to compare the two candidates and the first in which Sherrill does not lead in either the Democrat primary or the general election.
“Women break for Sherrill by ten points, 46% to 36%, while men break for Ciattarelli by 12 points, 51% to 39%. Notably, women are over twice as likely to be undecided at 15% compared to 6% of men,” said Spencer Kimball, the executive director of Emerson College Polling. Ciattarelli (R-N.J.) served as a New Jersey state representative from 2012 to 2018, and he is now making his third run for governor. A certified public accountant, he previously owned a medical publishing company, which he sold in 2017.
Sherrill (D-N.J.) graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1994 and served nearly a decade on active duty in the U.S. Navy. After leaving the service in 2003, she earned a law degree from Georgetown University and practiced law before being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018.
Sherrill has been criticized for a significant increase in her net worth since taking office in Congress. Reports indicate her net worth grew from a maximum of $4.3 million in 2019 to over $11.3 million in 2025, largely due to stock transactions connected to her husband, a UBS executive. Critics of hers argue that she profited from insider knowledge — particularly from stock sales made early in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Sherrill denies trading individual stocks and attributes transactions to her husband’s compensation, according to the New York Post.
In the poll, she captured 56% of voters aged 18 to 29, while Ciattarelli received 18% in the same demographic. The results reflect a clear generational divide, with the Democrat candidate performing stronger among younger voters and the Republican candidate faring better with older voters.
