Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : She has stressed her background and her record flipping a Republican district in 2018 and cast herself as the candidate best equipped to take on Trump.
46% : He has also pitched himself as a candidate with crossover appeal, defeating a Republican congressman in 2016 even as Trump narrowly carried his district.
41% : Fulop and Baraka have both made appeals to the party's progressive voters, and Baraka may get a boost among voters who want the party to fight Trump following his arrest last week at a federal immigration detention facility.
32% : State Sen. John McKeon, a Sherrill supporter, suggested that attacks on Sherrill's lack of executive experience were "people looking for soundbites." "It doesn't stick," McKeon said, pointing to her experience as a Navy pilot and prosecutor as proof that she can lead the state government.
24% : "The reality is that if you are, again, the establishment candidate that is defending Phil Murphy and you think you're going to get to the general election and talk about Trump and you're gonna win, you're gonna get blown out," said Fulop, noting that Trump made gains in New Jersey last November.
14% : "While the same old status quo candidates in this race take shots at each other, Josh is focused on the two biggest fights facing Jersey: fighting Donald Trump and fighting to get our costs and taxes down," said Gottheimer campaign spokesperson Peter Optiz.
7% : Sherrill, for her part, said during Monday's debate that she has pushed back on leaders of both parties, noting that she pushed for Trump's first impeachment and would take on Trump as governor.
