Huge lead for Booker
Newark Mayor Cory Booker appears to be a slam dunk to win next week’s Democratic primary for the US Senate in New Jersey.
Booker got an overwhelming 54 percent of the support — compared with 17 percent for nearest rival Rep. Frank Pallone and 15 percent for third-place Rep. Rush Holt — in the latest Quinnipiac University poll. The winner will run in October’s special election to replace Frank Lautenberg, who died in June at age 89 — and Booker leads that poll over GOPer Steve Lonegan by 25 points.
“Unless the sky falls . . . Cory Booker can start looking for a Washington apartment,” said pollster Maurice Carroll.
