A new poll released today from Emerson College shows Democrat Mikey Sherrill holding on to the lead in a razor-thin margin against Republican Jack Ciattarelli, 49 to 48 percent there and just 3 percent voting for someone else or undecided.
The polls throughout the campaign have shown a narrowing race down the stretch.
Several surveys out today, including another from Quinnipiac University, shows Sheryl up 8 points.
On a press call earlier today, the Democratic Governors Association dismissed the Emerson poll as an outlier.
Meanwhile, more than 900,000 voters have already cast a ballot before Election Day, either early in person or via mail-in ballot.
And an NJ Spotlight News analysis of down ballot and local races finds fewer candidates are running for local school boards this year than they did last year, with hundreds of people running in uncontested elections.
The New Jersey School Boards Association says it is cause for concern, since school boards have a significant impact on both how schools are governed and how taxpayer money is spent.
