A fresh poll shows Democrat Mikie Sherill with small leader in the race for New Jersey governor.
Sherrill leads her Republican opponent Jack Ciattarelli by six points according to a new Quinnipiac University survey. 50 percent of likely voters back Sherrill while 44 percent favor Ciattarelli. Two percent favor other candidates. Ciattarelli has a lead among men and independents, but Sherrill has a 20 point lead among women. The last Quinnipiac poll a month ago had Sherill with a 8 point lead over Ciattarelli.
