Liberal super PAC: Poll shows Duffy leading 7th CD race 48-44
U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy leads former state Sen. Pat Kreitlow by four percentage points in the race for the 7th Congressional District, according to poll results announced today by liberal group CREDO SuperPAC.
The poll, conducted by North Carolina-based Dem firm Public Policy Polling, surveyed 694 voters in the northwestern Wisconsin district. Forty-eight percent of respondents said they supported Duffy, R-Weston, to 44 percent for Kreitlow, D-Chippewa Falls. Seven percent said they were undecided.
The survey also showed respondents preferred "someone else" over Duffy by a 47-46 margin, and that 42 percent had a favorable opinion of the incumbent compared to 44 percent with an unfavorable opinion.
The poll had a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.72 percent.
