SurveyUSA (10/14-15, likely voters):
Jerry McNerney (D-inc): 52
Dean Andal (R): 41
Undecided: 7
(MoE: ±3.9%)
To my knowledge, this is the first poll we’ve seen of this race, and McNerney is sitting comfortably — about where I expected him to be given his smooth first term. He picks up 16% of Republicans and wins Independents by 47-38.
Dean Andal was himself a much-hyped recruit earlier this cycle, but he’s had a serious failure to launch, and reports say that DC Republicans are sorely disappointed. McNerney is in good shape for a second term.

to make it a much safer district for McNerney in 2011 redistricting.
I never thought this district was as close as the analysts belied. Heworked his district very well.
That’s a good place to start from.
