The 2024 Election season has been a rollercoaster ride and many Americans are glad we are almost done with all of the Political Ads on both Television and Social Media.

Unless you are completely oblivious, the Presidential Election is one of the most polarizing topics in the United States.  Many people have taken sides and are planning to vote on or before November 5th.

Two new studies have been released that show that New Jersey residents are very interested in the 2024 Presidential Election.  This is surprising because NJ is not a swing state and has been a Blue State in eight straight Presidential Election cycles.
