>New poll finds Adler, Runyan in statistical dead heat
A third independent poll this week has said the race between freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. John Adler and Republican Jon Runyan is close. Adler finished with 42 percent to Runyan’s 39 percent in the latest poll. A third-party candidate, Peter DeStefano, running with the tag line “NJ Tea Party,” took 4 percent. Adler and Runyan are in a statistical dead heat because the poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points. (Burton, The Philadelphia Inquireer)
