Nearly half of the people polled (45%) listed property taxes as the most important one or two issues facing the state right now.
The issues concerning New Jerseyan residents are almost entirely economical, the poll says.
The other issues mentioned: the economy and cost of living (16%); jobs (11%); the state income tax (9%); the sales tax (6%); state budget and government spending (6%); and other general tax issues (10%).
According to the poll, transportation and infrastructure issues are at 10%.
Others: health insurance and health care (9%); guns, crime and drugs (8%); the legalization of marijuana (7%); illegal immigration (7%); and housing (6%).
A huge generational shift from the 1990s: the cost of auto insurance in New Jersey polled at 0%.
