Research 2000 (8/18-20, likely voters):
Jill Derby (D): 42
Dean Heller (R-inc): 47
(MoE: ±5.0%)
That’s a very nice starting position for Jilly Derby, but she’ll have her work cut out for her in order to swing that extra 8% in this R+8.2 district. On the bright side, Democrats have seen a voter registration surge in the district, and she recently received fundraising support from the DCCC and EMILY’s List.
It’ll be tough, but this race certainly merits watching.
Just yesterday, I published a Q&A with Jill Derby at My Silver State. She answers questions from Iraq to energy, economy to education, and FISA to net neutrality.
but winnable if the DCCC drops a ad buy in it.
But you’ve got to be excited at the prospect that Nevada could not only have an all-Democratic delegation to the House but join South Dakota, (hopefully soon to be formerly) Wyoming, DC, Guam, and the Virgin Islands as the only all-female delegations, and become the only one of these to actually have more than one member.
This looks winnable, but it all depends on what sorts of voters those other 8% are.
i think and that might be conservative. that’s not a bad poll at all.
