The SurveyUSA poll is now out, and it shows Elwyn Tinklenberg LEADING Michele Bachmann 47%-44% now.
Granted, that’s still a “statistical tie”, technically. But still, it’s the first poll out there from anyone, even from internals or DCCC polls, that show Tinklenberg with any kind of lead.
And I love that SurveyUSA embedded the infamous Hardball interview in their polling crosstabs. 🙂
….that’s he’s not winning by Mahoney-sized margins given the huge fallout those comments brought about. Speaks to how conservative this district is that she’s still in the margin of error. I just hope this Republican write-in alternative doesn’t steal enough would-be protest votes for Tinklenberg to give Bachmann her plurality.
