Lamb leads Saccone in poll released on eve of special election

Conor Lamb will win Western Pennsylvania's special election race for Congress on Tuesday if there is a surge in Democratic turnout similar to what has been seen in other special elections over the past year, according to a Monmouth University poll out Monday.

The Monmouth poll's “Democratic surge” model shows Lamb collecting 51 percent of the vote compared with Saccone's 45 percent, while 1 percent of likely voters would opt for a third-party candidate and 3 percent remain undecided. The poll's margin of error is 5.1 percent.

Monmouth said Lamb holds a slim advantage within the margin of error, 49 percent to 47 percent, if the election has a lower turnout similar to what is normally seen in midterm elections. If turnout is higher across the board, similar to a presidential election year, Lamb would defeat Saccone, 51 percent to 44 percent.

Saccone held an advantage over Lamb in all three polling scenarios last month.

I have no doubt of it.

Looks like Lamb will win. Why in the Hell do the Republicans put up a idiot like Saccone who didn’t even campaign hard?

Lord Republicans just do not know how to get the vote out in Special Elections. Hope this isn’t a trend to where we are in November.

well, whatever the result of the last few votes, none of the polls was correct.

Sessions has lost the Republicans every race so far.
