Booker trails three 2020 Democrats in New Jersey

Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.), a 2020 White House hopeful, is trailing three other Democratic presidential contenders among voters in his home state, according to a new poll. 

Booker has the support of 9 percent of Democratic primary voters in New Jersey, according to the Monmouth University poll released Thursday.

Booker also trails Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) by 11 points and 9 points, respectively. 

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) follow Booker in the new survey, with 6 percent support each. All other candidates polled at 2 percent or less. 

The New Jersey poll differs from most national polls that place Booker behind Buttigieg and Harris. A RealClearPolitics average of national polls has the New Jersey senator at 2.8 percent, behind seven of his primary opponents. 

New Jersey is one of the final states to hold its primary, set for June 2.

The poll surveyed 713 New Jersey residents 18 and older between Sept. 12 and 16. There is a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points.
