As the countdown continues to New Jersey’s Republican Primary on June 10, 2025, a new internal poll from Jack Ciattarelli’s campaign suggests the former gubernatorial candidate remains firmly in the driver’s seat.
With just weeks to go, the numbers—at least according to Ciattarelli’s own team—indicate that the race for the GOP nomination isn’t shaping up to be much of a contest. While it’s always smart to take internal polling with a grain of salt, especially in the early spring stretch of election season, traditional metrics like name recognition, favorability, and fundraising do seem to support the narrative: Ciattarelli is comfortably ahead.
So, is the primary race already decided? Not officially. But if these early indicators hold, any challenger hoping to tighten the margins will need to make a major move, and fast.
While the broader GOP field in New Jersey continues to shape itself for future elections, Ciattarelli’s consistent presence from his previous statewide runs—and the infrastructure he built along the way—may be giving him a solid edge before most voters even head to the polls.
Keep an eye on how things evolve as June draws closer. Politics in the Garden State has a history of last-minute surprises—but for now, Ciattarelli appears to be running unopposed in all but name.
