Mikie Sherrill's Leads Now, But This Issue Could Flip NJ's Race For Governor: New Poll Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill is out in front as New Jersey's next governor. At least for now. That’s according to a Rutgers-Eagleton Poll released Wednesday, July 2, showing the Democratic nominee leading Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli by a wide early margin.
