A new poll from Coefficient shows Donald Trump slightly ahead of Joe Biden in the Democratic-leaning state of New Jersey.
President Trump has said he will carry New Jersey strongly in this election, and if the polls are accurate, that seems likely.
It's also important to note that this poll was conducted before Thursday night's debate, when Biden's mental decline was on full display to the nation.

Democrats Will Flip: NJ Poll Has Shocking New Numbers on Presidential Election
If there's one state worth betting on to keep Democrats in control, it's probably New Jersey.
But the results of a truly shocking opinion poll came out. Trump is ahead in New Jersey by 1 point.
Trump leads Biden 41-40, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. up 7% and undecided at 13%. If there was ever a “wow,” that’s it. Biden was up about 16% in 2020. It’s really amazing to see it that close.
The polls are good because they are targeted at the likely voters. They were not influenced by the pre-debate polls. The numbers could have swung in Trump's favor. A CNN poll after the debate showed 67% of people thought Trump won, while 33% thought Biden won.

I'm from the mid-Atlantic… I think this is an outlier, but the trend is real. NY, NJ, yes, even DE are not the same as CT or RI. It is less white, less college-educated, and, except for some parts of NJ, much more working-class and middle-class. We're not exactly a “coastal elite.” https://t.co/UAws10cOmu

If the race is also played in New Jersey, Virginia is expected to be GOP+5 or higher. Democrats are at rock bottom. https://t.co/NpgvfV5tqv

If Trump wins New Jersey in November, it will send shockwaves through politics and the media.
