The Democrat’s gains came largely from a 16 point swing among men and further solidification of his popularity among young voters. Currently, Obama is the choice of male voters by 52% to 37%, up from a 45%-46% deficit in September. Female voters prefer Obama by 55% to 32%, which is basically unchanged from last month.

The Illinois senator, who has consistently been ahead among young voters, now holds a 71% to 20% lead among voters under age 35, up from 54%-30% in September. He also leads among white voters in the Garden State by a slim 46%-43% margin. In September, McCain had a 48%-43% advantage among this group.

“We have reached the tipping point in this race, with nearly half of the state’s voters saying they are very sure they will vote for Obama,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. “At this point, it would take an October surprise of astronomical proportions to turn New Jersey from blue to red.”
