Sen. Bob Menendez, facing federal indictment charges in a bribery scheme, is growing unpopular among New Jersey voters, according to a new poll.
A majority of New Jersey voters have an unfavorable view of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., according to a recent poll, and more than half want him to resign from his post. Menendez and his wife, Nadine, were recently charged by the Justice Department in a bribery scheme for which he is facing allegations of acting as a foreign agent for Egypt. A majority of residents, about 80%, were either very familiar or somewhat familiar with the charges while 1 in 5 had little to no knowledge of the case.
The poll, conducted by the Stockton Polling Institute of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy from Oct. 9-18, involved 630 New Jersey adult residents and utilized a combination of text invitations and phone calls, with 92% of interviews conducted on cellphones and 8% on landlines. The data was weighted based on U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2021 data for New Jersey, considering variables like age, race, education level and sex, and it had a margin of error of +/- 3.9 percentage points.
Menendez is facing an additional charge of acting as a foreign agent and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to benefit the Egyptian government through his 'power and influence as a Senator,' according to the superseding indictment filed by a grand jury in Manhattan this month. A superseding indictment is a formal document issued by a grand jury that replaces and expands upon a previous indictment in a criminal case.
Among other actions, MENENDEZ provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt,' the indictment states.
