The 2018 United States Senate election in New Jersey will take place on November 6, 2018, in order to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of New Jersey. Incumbent Democrat Bob Menendez has not yet announced whether or not he will run for reelection to a third full term, however he has strongly hinted at the possibility.
Polling by Harper Polling/Conservative Intel in March 2013 showed Thomas Kean, Jr. taking 41% of the vote in a hypothetical 2018 Republican primary matchup, with Kim Guadagno at 33%, Joseph M. Kyrillos at 12%, and 14% undecided. If Menendez were to retire, the poll showed that Richard Codey would lead a Democratic primary with 33% of the vote, followed by Rob Andrews (13%), Frank Pallone (13%) and Stephen M. Sweeney (6%) with 35% undecided. In a hypothetical general election, the poll showed that Kean would lead Andrews 33% to 17% with 50% undecided, and Codey would lead Kyrillos 34% to 25% with 41% undecided.[1][5]
