In New Jersey, the governor\u2019s mansion, lieutenant governor\u2019s office, General\u00a0Assembly and state Senate are all on the ballot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the polling average from The Hill\u2019s partners at Decision Desk HQ, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) leads Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R) in the state\u2019s gubernatorial race by 49.5 percent to 43.3 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) leads Republican Jack Ciattarelli 48.6 percent to 44.6 percent in New Jersey\u2019s gubernatorial race, according to the DDHQ average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In Pennsylvania, three Democratic justices are up in November for what is called retention vote, which will decide whether they are granted new 10-year terms. Only one justice has failed a retention vote in the state\u2019s history, but Democrats say they are not taking any chances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) rolled out an ad last week in support of the three incumbent justices, warning \u201cthe threats to our freedoms are very real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
