New Poll Gives New Jersey Governor Murphy A 50% Approval Rating

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s job approval rating continues to be in positive territory, but has declined a few points since the start of his second term, according to a new Monmouth University Poll of state residents.

The poll finds that Murphy’s overall job performance rating is now at 50% approve and 39% disapprove among all New Jersey adults and 50% approve and 40% disapprove among registered voters.

These numbers, while remaining positive, are down slightly since the start of his second term last year and more in line with voter opinion during his 2021 reelection campaign.

Murphy’s approval rating is stable among his fellow Democrats (85% now and 86% in April 2022), but has dropped a few points among independents (43%, from 51% in 2022) and Republicans (12%, from 17%).

Broken down by region, Murphy’s approval has held fairly steady in North Jersey (54% now and 57% in 2022), but has declined in both Central Jersey (49%, from 60%) and South Jersey (41% from 48%).

The poll was conducted between August 10 and August 14 with a sample size of 814 adults and a margin of error of +/- 5.4%.

    • He hasn’t shut the bridge.
      Not had he ordered tens of frum families to be investigated and maliciously prosecuted.
      Need I say more?
      I don’t like this guy, but Christie was an absolute putz

  1. he has stood for the minority and underprivileged segments of the state’s social fabric and probably did stimulate the economy during the critical covid lockdown period when other states didn’t do as much to preserve market vitality however we wouldn’t vote for him because he does not do enough to encourage moral behavior as much as it is the government’s responsibility

  2. When he approves funding for a traffic light at every intersection in Lakewood I’ll be eternally grateful.
    I’m tired of traveling to Boro Park once a week to relive my glory days of driving in a Heimish neighborhood.
