ACTION ALERT: Special Election in 13 Days
Slatecarders--
SURVEY SHOWS ELROD IN STRONG POSITION TO CAPTURE 7th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT SEAT
• Elrod trails by just 7% on the initial ballot.
• Among those aware of both candidates, Elrod and Carson run even.
• Elrod also has solid support among Republicans.
• Elrod leads by 9% on the informed ballot (45%-36%) once voters find out a little bit more about both candidates.
• Voters are less likely to vote for Carson when told of his lack of
experience, his refusal to investigate the ethics of former City
Council President Monroe Gray, and his endorsement by Nation of Islam
Leader Louis Farrakhan.
• Voters are more likely to vote for Jon Elrod when told he will fight for seniors, veterans and to simplify the tax code.
• 50% of these voters are very or somewhat concerned about their
Congressional seat being handed down from one generation to another.
• Elrod’s hard name ID (favorable rating plus unfavorable rating) is
just 39% at this time. With additional media and mail this will
increase significantly which will increase his ballot position.
• Elrod’s favorable to unfavorable ratio is nearly 4 to 1 while Carson’s is less than 2 to 1.
