New Jersey looks ready to cast its Electoral Votes for the Democratic ticket of John Kerry and John Edwards this November.

The latest Rasmussen Reports New Jersey survey finds Senator Kerry with a ten point lead over President Bush, 51% to 41%. New Jersey remains in the "Likely Kerry" category in our Electoral College projections.

Four years ago, Bush lost the Garden State to Al Gore by sixteen points, 56% to 40%. In last month's survey, Kerry led Bush by a dozen points, 51% to 39%.

Kerry attracts 81% of New Jersey Democrats while Bush earns the vote from 80% of the state's Republicans. Voters not affiliated with either major party favor Kerry by a 53% to 35% margin.

Forty-four percent (44%) of New Jersey voters Approve of the way President Bush is performing his job. That's down a point from a month ago and well below his national Job Approval rating.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of New Jersey Republicans give the President their approval along with 37% of unaffiliated voters and just 14% of Democrats.

Data for New Jersey will be updated again early next month.
