Call it Jersey pride. Seven in 10 New Jerseyans (70%) say they take at least "some" pride in calling the Garden State home, according to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. “The vast majority of residents, across party lines, income brackets and every corner of the state, still say they are proud to live here. Jersey pride is real." Results are from a statewide poll of 1,006 adults contacted through the probability-based Rutgers-Eagleton/SSRS Garden State Panel from June 25 to 29.
