New poll: Sherrill has 8 point lead over Ciattarelli in race for NJ Governor
Editor's note: The video aired on June 11, following the New Jersey primary election. NEW JERSEY (PIX11) — A new poll shows the Democratic nominee has an eight-point lead in the race to be New Jersey's next Governor– and President Trump's policies may be a drag on the Republican nominee. The poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University shows Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill at 45%. Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli is at 37%. 16% of voters remain undecided. More Local News The race for New Jersey Governor in the year after a Presidential election is often seen as an important test for the President– in this case, President Donald Trump. Fairleigh Dickinson had some revealing insights into how national issues are impacting Trump's endorsed candidate, Ciattarelli. Polling found that when questions framed the race around local issues like NJ Transit and flooding, 7% of independent voters moved toward Ciattarelli. But when it was framed around national issues like President Trump and immigration, 4% of independent voters moved away from Ciattarelli. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Zohran Mamdani ‘absolutely' supports Mikie Sherrill in bid for NJ governor
NEW YORK (PIX11) – Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, said he supports Rep. Mikie Sherrill in her bid to become New Jersey's next governor. Much has been made about who is and is not endorsing Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic socialist who currently represents Queens in the New York State Assembly. While some have waffled on supporting him, Mamdani said in a new exclusive interview with PIX on Politics that he 'absolutely' supports Sherill when asked directly. More Local News The definitive support for Sherrill by Mamdani comes despite many establishment Democrats like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, both New Yorkers, still declining to formally endorse him. Sherill herself has waffled. Immediately after Mamdani's primary win, she said: 'If he's the Democratic candidate, which it sounds like he is, I assume I will [support him],' the Democratic nominee for New Jersey governor said to NBC Philadelphia. A month later, on PIX11 News, Sherrill said: 'I have not weighed in. I have not made endorsements in New York because I'm running in New Jersey. Her Republican opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, has made tying Sherrill to Mamdani a central theme of his 2025 campaign. Ciattarelli himself once distanced himself from President Donald Trump, but he is now endorsed by Trump. Mamdani's relevance to an important neighboring race in 2025 may be a preview of what Republicans seek to accomplish during the crucial 2026 midterm elections. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State In response, Mamdani has repeatedly said he would remain focused on affordability and uniting Democrats on that issue. On the midterms next year, Mamdani was specifically asked on PIX on Politics how he would handle them. 'What I'm excited about is creating an example in this city of what it means to deliver for working people,' Mamdani said. 'When we make buses faster, when we freeze the rent, when we deliver universal childcare, let that be an example of when Democrats actually get into office, deliver for working people.'
