SurveyUSA (9/24-25, likely voters, 6/27-29 in parens):
David Boswell (D): 43 (47)
Brett Guthrie (R): 49 (44)
Undecided: 8 (9)
(MoE: ±4.1%)
After David Boswell posted leads in the last round of SUSA’s polling and in a Garin Hart Yang internal last month, Republican Brett Guthrie has pulled ahead in the latest poll. Having the airwaves to himself for over a month is a likely cause, but the DCCC didn’t do Boswell any favors after their attack ad was pulled by a local station, allowing Guthrie to crow about “dishonesty” from Democrats. Not a great start out of the gates here by the DCCC.
SSP currently rates this race as Lean Republican.
Disappointing, but I shouldn’t be surprised. Hopefully the DCCC can come back hard and turn the tides back.
OT: Is SSP going to have a debate watching Open thread tonight? J/w. DKos goes through like, 20 topics and it’s just annoying. It’d be fun I think to talk about stuff as it happens
