Here's the latest news out of New Jersey:
Following his indictment on bribery and conspiracy charges – and for acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government, 70% of New Jerseyans want Bob Menendez to resign his seat in the United States Senate, a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll released this morning shows.
For Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants, the worst part may be the loss of confidence from Hispanic residents of his home state: 71% of Hispanics think he should resign, and just 15% say he should serve the remainder of his term.
He’s also lost support from his own party, with 71% of Democrats saying he should resign and 16% telling him to stay.
“Menendez has been able to weather charges in the past,” said the FDU poll director, Dan Cassino. “But this time, it just doesn’t seem like he has any real support left.”
Indeed, there is no good news for Menendez in the FDU poll.
Independents (71%-16%), Republicans (80%-12%), senior citizens (76%-16%), Whites (74%-15%), Blacks, Asians (58%-19%), and people ages 30 and under (66%-15%) want him gone.
