Amy Kennedy Campaign Poll Shows Her Leading Jeff Van Drew by 5 Points in Race for Congress in NJ2

Brigantine, NJ- The Amy Kennedy for Congress campaign released a new poll today that mirrored the results of the poll released yesterday by House Majority PAC.  The results of the campaign’s poll has Kennedy leading Van Drew by five points (49% Kennedy / 44% Van Drew).

The poll was conducted by ALG Research and was in the field September 14-17, 2020.

The HMP poll released yesterday showed Amy Kennedy leading Jeff Van Drew by a margin of 48-43 with Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the district by a margin of 50-46.

Kennedy clearly has the momentum coming into the final 6 weeks of the race with voting having already begun in Ocean and Camden counties and ballots soon to arrive in mailboxes in all of the other counties in NJ2.

Josh Roesch, Amy Kennedy for Congress campaign manager said, “The only polls that really matter are on election day, but what these numbers show is the same thing we have been hearing from people across the district– they feel betrayed and abandoned by Jeff Van Drew and they want change. They want a representative who will fight for working families and small businesses and who won’t ever pledge their undying support to anyone other than the people of South Jersey.”
