Oct. 27, 2025, 2:49 PM EDTBy Bridget BowmanRecent public polling in the New Jersey governor’s race has shown Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill leading Republican Jack Ciattarelli by varying degrees. Like many campaigns in the last decade, President Donald Trump and voter perceptions of his performance have loomed over this race.But Sherrill’s lead also appears to be tied to how voters in New Jersey view another politician: Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy. Kornacki: Trump & Ciattarelli’s different paths to GOP gains in New Jersey03:36Polls conducted in recent weeks have not tested Murphy’s job approval rating, but a Fox News survey conducted Oct. 10-14 found 47% of voters had a favorable view of the two-term governor, while 49% had an unfavorable view of him. Sherrill led Ciattarelli in that survey by 5 points, within the poll’s margin of error. In the handful of public polls that did test Murphy’s job approval during the fall campaign, the three surveys that showed Murphy with an approval rating in the high 40s also saw Sherrill build bigger leads. In two surveys putting Murphy’s job approval at 35%, including one that was conducted for Ciattarelli’s campaign, the gubernatorial results showed a tied or near-tied race — the best results Ciattarelli has enjoyed in the whole campaign.The shift depending on Murphy’s approval rating underscores how views of the current two-term administration could be a key factor in the race.Ciattarelli has tied Sherrill to Murphy and cast himself as the candidate representing change in the race, placing blame for the state’s woes on Murphy and Democrats, who control the state Legislature. “Politicians like Mikie Sherrill and Phil Murphy just don’t get it,” Ciattarelli says in one recent TV ad. “They’re making New Jersey unaffordable, especially for the middle class. We need a change.” Sherrill, meanwhile, has also put some distance between herself and Murphy on the issue of the state’s rising electricity costs, while also casting herself as a candidate who will bring change to state government. “Make no mistake, I’ll also fight Trenton to bring down costs for families,” Sherrill said in a recent debate.Five recent publicly released surveys, all of them conducted in September, measured both Murphy’s standing and the governor’s race in New Jersey. A Fox News survey and a poll from the education group Yes Every Kid both found Sherrill up 7 points, with support from 48% of respondents, while a Quinnipiac survey from mid-September found Sherrill up 8 points, at 49%. Sherrill’s lead in the Fox News survey was outside the poll’s 3-point margin of error, while her leads in the other two surveys were just inside those margins of error. Murphy’s approval rating in those three polls: 47% or 48%.The outlier so far among independent surveys has been one from Emerson College Polling/PIX11/The Hill, which showed the race tied, with both Sherrill and Ciattarelli at 43%, within the survey’s margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 points.Beyond the top-line results, a key difference separating the Emerson poll from others was Murphy’s approval rating, which that poll measured at 35%, more than 10 points lower than the other surveys.As polls show different pictures of Murphy’s approval rating, Trump’s approval rating has remained in the low 40s, with each of the September surveys finding Trump’s approval at 41%.Sherrill has tried to capitalize on that in her advertising, linking Trump to Ciattarelli, who has the president’s endorsement. Democrats are betting that voters’ opposition to Trump will drive them to the polls in November and boost Sherrill in the race. Ciattarelli, meanwhile, has largely praised the president while also brushing off Democratic attacks by arguing that Trump does not affect local issues like property taxes. Meanwhile, both candidates were asked in a recent debate to grade Murphy’s administration, and Sherrill gave the two-term governor a B.“There’s things like paying for the pensions, the nine increases in our credit rating that I like,” Sherrill said. “But overall I think there’s ways Trenton could do a lot better, being much more responsive to people. I’m going to have a culture shift in Trenton. I’m going to make sure we have more accountability in government, driving down costs for people,” Sherrill added, also calling for more action to address housing costs and rail infrastructure. Ciattarelli gave Murphy an F, calling Murphy’s tenure “the worst governorship of our lifetime.” “Take a look at what’s happened in New Jersey. We have an affordability crisis because of property taxes, electricity rate, housing and child care. We have a public education crisis because we watered down the public school curriculum. We have a public safety crisis because we don’t let our local police do their jobs. And we have an overdevelopment crisis in our suburban communities because of high-density housing. It’s been a failure across the board,” Ciattarelli said.Wherever Murphy’s approval rating is, his standing appears to be significantly better than former GOP Gov. Chris Christie’s after his two terms in office.A Fox News survey conducted in October 2017 found 21% of New Jersey voters viewed Christie favorably, while 77% viewed him unfavorably. The survey did not test Christie’s job approval. Bridget BowmanBridget Bowman is a national political reporter for NBC News.

Oct. 2, 2025, 11:34 PM EDTBy Steve Kopack and Phil HelselApple said Thursday it is removing an app that allows users to share information about sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, which the head of ICE had criticized.ICEBlock was removed from Apple’s App Store along with other apps like it, Apple said.“We created the App Store to be a safe and trusted place to discover apps,” Apple said. “Based on information we’ve received from law enforcement about the safety risks associated with ICEBlock, we have removed it and similar apps from the App Store.”Trump administration officials have complained about assaults and threats to ICE agents, among them that they face being “doxxed,” a term that means personal information is shared online.ICEBlock does not involve the sharing of personal information about agents, but it notifies people within a 5-mile radius of sightings.The app was launched in April, around three months after President Donald Trump was inaugurated following a campaign in which he vowed to crack down on people in the country without legal authorization. Downloads took off in June, the month immigration raids were launched in Los Angeles.Fox Business, which first reported that the app had been pulled Thursday, reported that Justice Department officials asked Apple to remove ICEBlock at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi.The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News. Bondi said in a statement to Fox Business, “We reached out to Apple today demanding they remove the ICEBlock app from their App Store — and Apple did so.”Bondi told the news outlet that “ICEBlock is designed to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs.”White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons also criticized the app in July.A message seeking comment from ICEBlock’s founder or others affiliated with the app, which was sent through its website, was not immediately returned Thursday night.The app is being removed a little more than a week after a 29-year-old Texas man, Joshua Jahn, opened fire on people at a Dallas ICE facility sally port, killing two detainees and himself. No ICE agents were injured. After the shooting, Marcos Charles, the ICE field office director of enforcement and removal operations, said Jahn used ICE tracking apps. He did not say which ones.There have been more than 1 million downloads of the ICEBlock app, according to app tracking firm Appfigures. Downloads took off in June, according to the firm. That month, ICE ramped up immigration raids in Los Angeles. Demonstrators protested the raids, and some downtown stores were looted. The Trump administration sent the National Guard to the city without a request from California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a controversial move that critics called political theater and an attempt to intimidate and terrorize residents.A federal judge ruled Sept. 2 that the deployment of National Guard personnel and Marines to Los Angeles was illegal. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco ruled that it violated a 19th century law that prohibits the use of soldiers for civilian law enforcement activities.Steve KopackSteve Kopack is a senior reporter at NBC News covering business and the economy.Phil HelselPhil Helsel is a reporter for NBC News.Laura Strickler contributed.
