Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is not doing so hot, especially in a deep blue state where there are nearly a million more registered Democrats than Republicans. This should be a slam dunk, but Republican Bob Hugin, who has spent more the 30 million of his own wealth, is making sure New Jersey voters know it's time for a change, and that Menendez is a corrupt sleazebag.
The negative ad assault has been pervasive, and state Democrats can't seem to mount an effective defense. Menendez's favorability is dismal, barely breaking 20 percent. New Jersey Democrats say that there aren't many competitive House races this year, which mean a large swath of reliable voters will probably stay home. That's the issue: Menendez is such an unfavorable character that even Democrats aren't enthused to give him another term, despite the anti-Trump hysteria that's engulfing the Democratic Party. No, post-summer bump came for Menendez, and with polls showing Hugin catching up big league; Jersey Democrats are starting to sweat bullets ...
