New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy is projected to have won a second term as governor in a race that was vastly closer than polls anticipated.
Both CNN and the Associated Press have now projected Murphy as the winner despite facing a surprisingly strong challenge from Republican Jack Ciattarelli.
With more than 90 percent of the vote reported, Murphy has a lead of just one percentage point, despite polls leading up to the election showing him comfortably ahead.
