Incumbent Republican Jeff Van Drew holds a slim edge in NJ-02 trader consensus at 41.5% implied probability versus 38.0% for Democrats, reflecting tight recent polls like an October Emerson survey showing Van Drew up by 3 points amid heavy spending by both campaigns. The South Jersey district's shift rightward since Van Drew's 2019 party switch and his 2022 double-digit win provide Republican stability, but aggressive Democratic recruitment, superior fundraising by challenger Joe Dunn, and national abortion rights mobilization keep the race neck-and-neck. Separation could arise from early voting trends, a final debate performance, or shifts in coastal turnout as November 5 nears.
