A poll released shows Runyan leading New Jersey Democrat Rep. John Adler 48 percent to 43 percent among likely voters. [1] Real Clear Politics has the seat leaning Republican. He is facing a third-party challenge from Peter DeStefano. DeStefano calls himself the Tea Party candidate but nobody in the Tea Party Movement recognizes him.
