Poll shows close U.S. Senate race in N.J. with Menendez on the ballot – New Jersey Globe
![Poll shows close U.S. Senate race in N.J. with Menendez on the ballot – New Jersey Globe](https://newjerseyglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Andy-Kim-Curtis-Bashaw.png)
There’s a new poll in the New Jersey Senate race that puts Republican Curtis Bashaw in striking distance of winning a three-way contest against Democrat Andy Kim and independent Bob Menendez, the incumbent.
The poll has Kim leading Bashaw by six points, 39%-33%, with 3% for Menendez and 25% of likely New Jersey voters still undecided.
Kim’s lead expanded to 41%-24% in a head-to-head poll against Menendez, a three-term U.S. Senator who is currently on trial on federal corruption charges.
Six in ten Hispanics view Menendez unfavorably; Kim has a 32%-26% lead among Hispanic likely voters, with Menendez at just 3%.
The poll was conducted by co/efficient, a newish, little-known independent survey firm in Kansas City with a one-star in 538’s pollster ratings. The pollster, Ryan Munce, appears to be Republican- leaning.
The same poll shows Donald Trump and Joe Biden in a statistical dead heat in New Jersey; Trump leads, 41%-40%, with 7% for independent Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and other third-party contenders.
Neither of the Senate candidates is especially well-known: Kim has favorables of 30%-20%, while Bashaw is at 13%-14%; 50% of voters have never heard of Kim, a three-term congressman and former Obama White House staffer, and 73% don’t know who Bashaw is.
Menendez’s favorables are at 4%-71%. The co/efficient poll also has Gov. Phil Murphy with upside-down favorables of 36%-24% Favorables for Trump (45%-50%) and Biden (36%-56%) are both underwater.
Trump’s favorables among Republicans is at 88%, although that didn’t stop the state party from re-electing fervently anti-Trump candidate Bill Palatucci, a close ally of former Gov. Chris Christie, for Republican National Committeeman on Thursday.
A generic ballot test in the U.S. Senate race has Democrats with a 12-point lead, 46%-34%.
The co/efficient poll was conducted on June 26-27 using mobile text responses and landline interviews, and a sample size of 810 likely general election voters and a +/- 3.4% margin of error.

U.S. Supreme Court sides with Oregon city, allows ban on homeless people sleeping outdoors • New Jersey Monitor
![U.S. Supreme Court sides with Oregon city, allows ban on homeless people sleeping outdoors • New Jersey Monitor](https://newjerseymonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/GettyImages-1202504608.jpg)
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court Friday sided with a local ordinance in Oregon that effectively bans homeless people from sleeping outdoors, and local governments will be allowed to enforce those laws.
In a 6-3 decision, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the opinion that the enforcement of those local laws that regulate camping on public property does not constitute the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.
“Homelessness is complex. Its causes are many. So may be the public policy responses required to address it,” he wrote. “The Constitution’s Eighth Amendment serves many important functions, but it does not authorize federal judges to wrest those rights and responsibilities from the American people and in their place dictate this Nation’s homelessness policy.”
The case originated in Grants Pass, a city in Oregon that argues its ordinance is a solution to the city’s homelessness crisis, which includes fines and potential jail time for repeat offenders who camp or sleep outdoors.
From Oregon to N.J., policymakers’ genius plan to solve homelessness is to say, ‘Go somewhere else’
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a dissent arguing that the ordinance targets the status of being homeless and is therefore a violation of the Eighth Amendment.
“Grants Pass’s Ordinances criminalize being homeless,” she wrote. “The Ordinances’ purpose, text, and enforcement confirm that they target status, not conduct. For someone with no available shelter, the only way to comply with the Ordinances is to leave Grants Pass altogether.”
During oral arguments, the justices seemed split over ideological lines, with the conservative justices siding with the town in Oregon, arguing that policies and ordinances around homelessness are complex, and should be left up to local elected representatives rather than the courts.
The liberal justices criticized the city’s argument that homelessness is not a status protected under the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. The liberal justices argued the Grants Pass ordinance criminalized the status of being homeless.
The Biden administration took the middle ground in the case, and U.S. Deputy Solicitor General Edwin Kneedler offered partial support.
“It’s the municipality’s determination, certainly in the first instance with a great deal of flexibility, how to address the question of homelessness,” he said during oral arguments in late April.
