A poll conducted late last month for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) shows him with a wide lead over challenger David Brat heading toward next Tuesday's Republican primary election.

The poll, shared with Post Politics, shows Cantor with a 62 percent to 28 percent lead over Brat, an economics professor running to Cantor's right. Eleven percent say they are undecided.

The internal survey of 400 likely Republican primary voters was conducted May 27 and 28 by John McLaughlin of McLaughlin & Associates. It carries a margin of error of +/-4.9 percentage points.

Good point.

If turnout is super low for Ryan (less than 20%) then Ryan will be defeated.

The anti-Ryan folks will be out regardless of weather or anything else. Time to see this RINO go down!

I think the issue with Cantor was that Democrats voted to oust him in an open primary.

The polling was correct, they just missed on the margin of error.

HuffPo is urging WI Democrats to vote for Nehlen in the primary and then the Dem candidate in the general. Hopefully they are listening.
