COVID and economy take center stage in New Jersey governor's race
CBSN
New Jersey's gubernatorial race is shaping up as a key test of how voters will judge Democratic incumbent Phil Murphy's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of his fellow Democratic and Republican colleagues will face similar tests in 2022.
Murphy saw his approval skyrocket early in the pandemic, and a recent Monmouth University poll showed 52% of New Jerseyans still approve of the job he is doing. The state was hit hard by COVID-19 in the spring of 2020 and Murphy is still navigating the state's recovery.
