A (partisan) poll has Lautenberg ahead of Forrester by double digits -- 44-33. The poll is partisan, has a massive margin of error (4.9 percent) and small sample size. In other words, don't take these numbers as gospel. But, they are a welcome sight after watching Toricelli's death dive in slow motion.

Partisan poll or not, Lautenberg is clearly the frontrunner. The only thing that can save Forrester is the Supreme Court, and they will almost definitely take a pass.
