Pennsylvania: Final Poll Shows Democrat Leads 51/45 In Special Election Tomorrow


In the final poll before tomorrow's special election for Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District, the data looks promising for Democrat Conor Lamb over Republican Rick Saccone.

According to Monmouth University polling:

• If turnout mirrors recent special elections that have shown a Democratic surge, Lamb holds a 51% to 45% lead over Saccone.

• Using a historical midterm lower turnout model, Lamb also has a 2-point edge 49% to 47% margin.

• Using a higher turnout model, like those in a presidential election year Lamb leads with a 51% to 44% advantage.

• Lamb rates a 53% favorable and 33% unfavorable rating from likely voters in the district.

• Saccone has a lower favorable rating at 47% favorable and higher unfavorable at 43%.

• More self-identified Democrats (95%) support Lamb, while only 88% of self-identified Republicans support Saccone.

• Independents prefer Lamb by a 51% to 45% margin.

Super-smart statistician Nate Silver notes that a race this close is a very bad sign for Republicans since Donald Trump won this district by 20 points in 2016, and Mitt Romney won it by 17 points in 2012.

All of that being said - if you are in the 18th Congressional District get out and vote tomorrow!
