SurveyUSA for Roll Call (10/20-21, likely voters):
Debbie Halvorson (D): 50
Marty Ozinga (R): 37
Jason Wallace (G): 9
(MoE: ±4%)
Two Democratic polls (Bennett Petts & Normington and Anzalone Liszt) have pegged this race in the 50-30 range for Halvorson, and while this poll isn’t quite that rosy, this is excellent news all around.
The DCCC has been hammering Ozinga since August with cable buys and targeted mail (and shows no signs of relenting, having just taken out a hefty broadcast buy), and the money has taken a big toll on the King of Concrete — his favorable rating is just 29-37, a brutal level for anyone. And despite relentless efforts to tie Halvorson to widely disliked Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, she retains a 41-27 rating.
Bonus finding: Obama leads McCain by 49-44 in this district, which is even more optimistic than Halvorson’s own internals.
