On Thursday, Booker’s campaign announced it had raised $4.6 million between April and June 2013.
Recent polls show Booker is the commanding favorite, with a 40-point lead in the Senate race. A Quinnipiac Poll of the New Jersey Democratic primary found 52 percent of registered voters support Booker, followed by Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. with 10 percent support, Rep. Rush Holt with 8 percent and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver with 3 percent.
