Can someone explain why Booker is slipping in the polls?

This is incredibly disturbing to me and I don't live in Jersey. However, my Dad and brother used to.

1. Latest poll has him with 12 points on Lonegan

It also states the previous poll had him 3 points closer than in August. I do not see that as a problem. This seems the typical media stupidity that wants to make it a race because this way they can cover it.

3. Up with Steve Kornacki led with concerns the Booker's lead is evaporating.

That was this morning.

5. Kornacki is an idiot.

Same guy who posted that Scott Brown was unbeatable and so on. Lonegan got some of the undecided as he became known. That is all.

here are all the polls. With a couple of exception, Booker has been stable.

6. Interesting. He's talking about Brown running in NH also. Speculation.

Also speculating about Liz Warren though I thought she said she wasn't interested in running for president. Thanks for easing my nerves.

7. Consensus on Up with Steve Kornacki

Was that Booker would win. One poll showed NJ voters concern that Booker was going too Hollywood and wasn't concerned enough with their state. Still, versus Lonergon, though was Booker will win on October 16th.

9. I heard most of "Radio Times" yesterday on WHYY

which is the NPR station out of Philadelphia that I can hear sometimes when the weather is fine and Jupiter aligns with Mars (I'm way, way north of Philadelphia). The program guests discussed this very issue and concluded that at least one of the reasons is that New Jersey residents don't yet realize how very right-wing the Republican is. I was driving around doing errands so I didn't hear the whole thing, but you can listen yourself:
