Mikie Sherrill scores 45% approval rating ahead of 100-day marker

New Jersey residents have a slightly lower approval of the job Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) is doing compared to that of her predecessor, former Gov. Phil Murphy, according to a new poll.

The first Rutgers-Eagleton poll on Sherrill’s approval rating comes as the Garden State governor, elected in November by a 14.4% margin, approaches her 100 days in office. In the poll, 45% of New Jerseyans approved of Sherrill, 29% disapproved, and 26% said they didn’t know.
