Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson cuts into Hillary Clinton’s support in New Jersey, but her lead over Donald Trump is so big that it may not matter, according to a poll released Wednesday morning.

According to the Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll, Clinton leads Trump by 21 points in the Garden State, 52 percent to 31 percent. With Johnson thrown in, Clinton's lead shrinks to 12 points — 44 percent to 32 percent, with 9 percent for the Libertarian.


“Democrats are breaking for Clinton with Republicans squarely behind Trump. Both major party candidates have a strong base of supporters. Even though there’s been speculation that Johnson would draw Republicans away from Trump, his effect in the Garden State pales in comparison to the expectation,” said Krista Jenkins, a political science professor and PublicMind director.

According to the poll, 59 percent of New Jersey's registered voters believe Clinton will win the election in November, compared to 30 percent who think Trump will.

The poll of 712 registered voters was conducted by telephone from June 22-26 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

New Jersey hasn’t awarded its electoral votes to a Republican since George H.W. Bush in 1988. In 2012, President Barack Obama beat Republican challenger Mitt Romney by 18 points.
