New Jersey voters favor Democrat Barack Obama for president, but say Republican rival John McCain has an edge when it comes to handling the war in Iraq and homeland security, according to The Record Poll.

Obama, the first-term U.S. senator from Illinois, leads McCain, a veteran senator from Arizona, by 50 percent to 41 percent, with 7 percent saying they are undecided.

The likely voters surveyed said they think overall that Obama is better prepared to be president, but by a slimmer, four-point advantage. By double-digit margins, they believe Obama is better suited to deal with the nation's economy, environment and health care.

1. Of course he does. If Obama loses a state like NJ

it'll be a repuke landslide. But he won't lose NJ. or any other reliably blue state

3. That's probably true but some there are still undecided.

But good news is good news! ;)

2. If he can't win NJ, he's dead meat. And so are we.
