The policy and political debates swirling around us have real implications for people in New Jersey. Perhaps the most talked about theme in our gubernatorial debates has been affordability — how do we make New Jersey a more affordable place to live? On the national stage, policymakers are debating taxes and the future of affordable healthcare.
New findings from a New Jersey poll from the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy underscores the importance of these themes. We asked a scientific sample of 1,202 adults in the state how much stress they had experienced in the prior month.
