70% of New Jersey residents want indicted Sen. Bob Menendez to quit, poll shows

By Josh Christenson
Published Oct. 19, 2023

Nearly three-quarters of New Jersey residents want Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez to resign following his indictment on federal bribery and illegal foreign lobbying charges.

A Fairleigh Dickinson University survey found Thursday that 70% of Garden State residents want Menendez, 69, out before the end of his third term in January 2025.

Just 16% said he should remain in office.

The poll also found that 80% of Republicans favor the senator stepping down, along with 71% of Democrats and 67% of independents.

Young and black New Jersey residents are more likely to say Menendez should stay put — though only 25% of the latter group said he should stay on.

Brazening through scandals and criminality has been a Dem tradition since Bill Clinton.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Yet if he ran for office again, he'd probably win -- easily.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
