Andy\u2064 Kim Surpasses Tammy Murphy\u2063 in Favorability Rating for New Jersey Senate Race<\/h2>\n<p>Despite being less well-known\u200c than the \u2064state&#8217;s first lady, Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ) has garnered \u2064a significantly higher favorability rating in the New Jersey \u2064Senate race. According to a recent Monmouth University\u200c poll, Kim boasts a 48% favorable rating and a \u2064mere 2% unfavorable rating. While 24% of respondents\u2064 expressed no opinion, 26% admitted to\u2062 being unfamiliar \u2062with him.\u2064 In contrast, Tammy Murphy, wife of Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ), received a 24% favorable rating, a 13% unfavorable\u2062 rating, and \u2063a staggering 50% of respondents had no opinion\u200b of her, with only 13% claiming to have never\u200d heard of her.<\/p>\n<h3>Insider&#8217;s \u200dGame<\/h3>\n<p>Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, emphasized that Kim&#8217;s higher favorability rating can be attributed to his more extensive public\u2064 record compared \u2063to\u2064 Murphy. However,\u200b he also noted that \u2064the\u200d current state of the senate race \u2064indicates it is still an\u200b &#8220;insider&#8217;s game,&#8221; with \u200ccandidates primarily focusing \u2062on \u2064appealing to party leaders and\u200b committee members\u2064 to secure county lines. Murray added that it is not surprising that most\u2062 voters are uninformed about the candidates at this stage.<\/p>\n<h3>Multiple Contenders and Menendez&#8217;s \u2062Troubles<\/h3>\n<p>The New Jersey Senate seat, currently held by Sen. Bob Menendez\u200c (D-NJ), has attracted multiple candidates. Menendez himself is facing federal corruption charges,\u200b with new charges of extortion and obstruction of justice recently added. Despite\u200b pressure from fellow party members to resign, Menendez has not yet announced whether he will run for reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Kim, who \u200dmade history as the first Asian American elected to federal office in 2018, launched his campaign to \u2064unseat the incumbent in November. Shortly after, \u2062Murphy entered the race, further\u200c expanding\u200b the \u2064field of Democratic contenders.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read\u200c more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to recent data, Rep.
