| Description | Pollster: Environment 'good for Democrats'

REVIEW-JOURNAL
He might be the incumbent, but Republican Rep. Jon Porter may face an uphill battle against his Democratic challenger, state Sen. Dina Titus, according to a new poll conducted for her campaign.
The poll finds Titus leading Porter, 43 percent to 39 percent, among voters in Congressional District 3, which includes mostly suburban areas of the Las Vegas Valley.
Ten percent of those polled chose one of three third-party candidates, while 7 percent said they were undecided. The poll of 500 likely voters was conducted July 23 to July 28 and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
When the third-party candidates were excluded and respondents were asked to choose only between Titus and Porter, Titus' lead widened. In that scenario, Titus had the support of 50 percent, and Porter had 43 percent.
"I think it's a strong indicator that people in the district want change in Washington," Titus campaign manager Jay Gertsema said. "I also think it represents the fact that people in the district know Dina's someone who's going to fight hard for them."
The poll was conducted by Anzalone Liszt Research, a national firm that conducts polls for Democratic candidates. The poll is the first conducted by the Titus campaign since the political science professor and former gubernatorial nominee entered the race in April. |
