Lautenberg leads Zimmer 51%-40% in new poll

Democrat Frank Lautenberg has an 11 point lead over Republican Dick Zimmer in his bid for a fifth term in the United States Senate and has passed the magic 50% mark, according to a new Marist College Institute for Public Opinion poll released tonight.  Among likely voters and including leaners, Lautenberg is ahead 51%-40%.

Lautenberg also had an 11 point lead, 46%-35%, in a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll released two days ago.
 
President Bush, who will visit New Jersey on September 22 to headline a fundraising event for GOP congressional candidates Leonard Lance and Christopher Myers, has an upside-down 22%-52% approval rating; another 25% of voters view his performance as "fair."
