Fairly large MOE, and it is an internal poll. But, it's nice to see that Democrats can be competitive in another very red state.
This, in addition to Governor Kathleen Sebelius leading in the latest SurveyUSA polling by 20 points!! Yea! Go Kathleen!
Topeka — Democrat Nancy Boyda today released an internal campaign poll that shows she is leading incumbent Republican Jim Ryun in the race to represent the 2nd congressional district, which includes west Lawrence.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the race is on,” Boyda said at a news conference. “David is beating Goliath. Grassroots democracy is beating big money.”
At the conclusion of the news conference, a Ryun campaign official handed out a statement criticizing Boyda. “This is a desperate attempt to revive a fading campaign,” said Ryun’s spokesman Jeffrey Black.
The poll showed 42.5 percent favored Boyda; 41.2 percent favored Ryun and 16.2 percent were undecided. The poll’s margin of error was plus or minus 4.6 percent.
