Michele Bachmann Poll Below 50%
Maggie's Notebook ^ | July 13, 2010 | Maggie M. Thornton

Posted on 07/13/2010 6:36:15 PM PDT by maggiesnotebook

With every Republican seat in the House a necessity to keep, conservative Michele Bachmann's race representing Minnesota's 6th District is expected to be tight. She is the hard target for Liberals, who love to hate her and have vowed to overwhelm her campaign financially and every other way.

Bachmann is below 50% in the latest poll - not considered a good place for an incumbent, but she saw this scenario in her 2006 and 2008 campaigns. She has pulled it out before, but was not faced with the current animosity.

She’s up considerably head to head, and of really no risk of losing in a year where Democrats are going to have to fight for all but inner city seats.

Why is Maggie making a story out of nothing? Bachman is up by 8-10 pts against Clark. Has a 15 pt advantage from independents, 8 pt lead among college grads, 12 pts among non-college grads and 8-10 pt lead among both above and below $50K makers.

There is no story here, except Michelle is going to kick Clarks political a$$.

and BTW, 5% undecided and 8% are being leeched by other candidates. Even if 90% of the undecideds break for Clark (they wont, based on the above stats) Bachmann still wins.

It’s a Survey USA poll.

Find a reliable poll before you panic.

Who conducted the poll? I kind of find this hard to believe. Is the district a left leaning district? IMHO if it’s a left leaning district and the progressive/marxist party needs to fight this hard to unseat her, they’re in deep doo doo. If it’s a center/right district, this poll is worthless, after all even Pelosi has to be a little nervous this year. Then again, this is a pure outsider opinion.

I have posted over 1,000 political threads. Never felt compelled to make a compulsory comment in the 1st comment box. And, I was never criticized for not doing it.

I believe it is a story. She is the target for Liberals and I believe we make a mistake by taking her win for granted.

“but was not faced with the current animosity.”

Horse manure. She was vilified something fierce last time. They haven’t been able to lay a glove on her this time.

Strange. I just saw a thread today that said she was ahead of her opponent by 9 points without even trying. Hmmmmm.

ilgipper, I hope that’s true. I know some very conservative Minnesotans and they are concerned. I’m told it will be a very tight race. I will be delighted and grateful if it’s a breeze for Bachmann.

We can’t afford to lose Bachman....but if we do, she needs to be serving elsewhere such as RNC Chair.

Yes, my article points out the 9 point lead, but as a incumbent she is under 50%.
