Kean campaign coverage

The Kean Campaign has not yet responded to an e-mail sent out this morning regarding how they feel on election day. The most recent polls for the New Jersey Senate race are at this Web site, pollster.com, and the site shows a trend from a collection of polls. Their average of five recent polls shows Kean's opponent, Robert Menendez, with a 6 percentage point lead, as well as a trend towards an increasing Democratic lead.

However, an essay elsewhere on the site notes that in polls "a five point lead...turns out to be right only about 60-65% of the time." The essay discusses how accurate polls showing leads for a given candidate turn out to be on election day.

Kean has made an effort to reach out to college students through a Facebook profile, and a group with over 400 students at this point.

Throughout today and this evening, please feel free to e-mail me at mps@princeton.edu or post comments below about the Kean Campaign or the election in general.
