Polling Heavily Favors Kim over Bashaw in U.S. Senate Contest

RANDOLPH – Dropping into this Morris County town Sunday morning to launch a local canvass effort, Curtis Bashaw was quite upbeat.

He said he just made the rounds at a local diner and had been well received by just about everyone. Only people at one table refused to take his literature.

Addressing supporters with leafy and colorful trees behind him, Bashaw said independents and even some Democrats will move his way because of the economy and the border.

Then again, a poll popped up over the weekend showing what most people know, but also something a bit revealing.

And the “revealing” part was not good news for Bashaw, the Republican candidate for Senate.

The poll was done by Cygnal, which Real Clear Politics describes as Republican-leaning.

No matter. The poll gave Kamala Harris a 52-40 percentage point lead in New Jersey over Donald Trump. No surprise there.

How about Bashaw?

The poll presented the following

Andy Kim – 51 percent

Bashaw – 32 percent.

Kim

 

Or if you incorporate “genetic” responses from undecided voters, the findings are Kim at 55 percent and Bashaw at 38.

So, a chunk of those voting for Trump will not vote for the Republican senate candidate, the poll said.

Sure, this could be an anomaly.

Then again, we have seen some right-wing groups express dismay with Bashaw’s support for abortion rights. Don’t forget that pro-lifers are a big part of the GOP base.

This poll may be an indication that some religious conservatives will vote for Trump, but not Bashaw.

Asked about the poll, Bashaw remained confident, saying things will change when his ads “go up,” which will happen this week.

He also took some solace from the fact Kim was at “only” 51 percent in one interpretation of the poll, which is just barely a majority.

Keep in mind that “positive spin” is a big part of politics.

  1. “God, I, Good People of New Jersey Want “Mr. Kim Protected At All Costs.”

    He is to become the next United States 🇺🇸 Senator from the “Great State of New Jersey.”

    “God Bless the United States 🇺🇸.”

    ….”Move….

  2. Bashaw is the most energized and honest candidate NJ has ever seen for US senate. He has accomplished so much for NJ. He employee people in NJ. He makes money and pays taxes in NJ. Kim- all he’s done is take the government cheese and he’s a lame and low energy candidate. Vote Bashaw if you want any hope for this state. It’s a state in decline. We all know it but the handouts from Democrats keep the place on life support.

  3. Kim has voted 100% with the HARRIS-BIDEN administration to destroy this country through massive inflation by voting for the failed TRILLION DOLLAR-PLUS Inflation INCREASING Act, failed Infrastructure bill, and failed Green RAW Deal bill. He is destroying American families with inflation by adding $30,000 per year inflation that has turned middle class families’ finances upside down, people can’t get mortgages, and people aren’t even living paycheck to paycheck. Over 35% of American families are on some form of food line/food support.

    Kim supports the HARRIS-BIDEN Administration in allowing MILLIONS of illegal alien criminals, illegal murderers and illegal Terrorists into our country to rape and murder children, women and men, while bringing in deadly drugs (fentanyl from China) and deadly diseases.

    Kim voted to violate the 2nd Amendment by banning or confiscating law abiding Americans firearms, while allowing illegal criminal gangs to take over apartments, towns, and cities, while armed with military-style weapons.

    Kim supports school administrations and doctors turning our children into transgender mutants against their parents’ wishes, even though overwhelming empirical scientific evidence shows that the decision making and reasoning part of the brain isn’t fully developed until age 25. This constitutes Kim supporting child abuse and child sexual abuse.

    No, Kim is bad for America, because he’ll continue to vote 100% with the Democrat-Communists to destroy our nation.
