Of course, it's no real surprise that Obama is leading Romney by a fairly substantial margin (51-37) in the reliably blue state of New Jersey.
What I found more telling were some of the details surrounding that poll - both what they say about Romney and what they say about the President.
According to the article on philly.com, Obama has a double-digit lead among "unaffiliated" voters.
Plus, though Obama experienced a bounce among those who watched the Democratic Convention:
32 percent of those who watched the Republican convention said they were less likely to vote for Romney, with 26 percent more likely to support him.
Once again, the more one is exposed to Romney, the less one likes him.
"As my kids say, to know Romney - from a New Jersey voter perspective - is a big meh," Plaut concluded.
And even though the economy ranked far ahead of all other concerns, that fact did not necessarily redound to Romney's benefit.
But others polled - including Republicans - credited Obama with fixing the economy.
Brian Pinkard, 53, of Burlington Township, is retired from the military and a registered Republican who voted for George W. Bush and says he will pull the lever for Obama. "Because of the direction he has taken us, we'll have the greatest success in stimulating the economy," he said.
If not for Obama, he said, "we could be in the same situation as Greece or Spain or Italy," where the economies are collapsing.
Another registered Republican, Alexander Morgan, 21, of Palmyra, said Obama helped steer the country away from a depression. Morgan called Romney "indecisive - he says what people want to hear."
"He's so out of whack, out of touch, it's terrifying," Morgan said.
Another deciding factor: President Clinton's speech at the convention:
Former President Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic convention - in which he painstakingly defended Obama's record - was helpful, Pinkard said.
Like I said at the beginning, one shouldn't be surprised that Obama is leading in New Jersey - though one should, perhaps, be surprised that he is leading by a bigger margin now than he was over McCain at this point four years ago - but the article shows that the conventional wisdom about the economy working to Obama's detriment may be severely overblown.
