There probably have been. Murtha has plenty of money for polls. If they don't look good for him he would not likely release them to the media. That leads me to believe that Ivey may be in striking distance.

No one thought Ivey was anything more than a token candidate. So I doubt if there is enough surplus campaign money for Ivey to pay for a poll. Who could have predicted the things that have happened to make the Democrats and Murtha look this bad? Certainly not the Democrats.

The only kind of polls that are useful to a campaign are tracking polls and they are very expensive. But the issues in this race are clearly defined. I suspect that when allocating precious resources the Ivey campaign believes advertising is more important than polls. Especially this early in the campaign.

If you want to see published polls you will likely have to get the media interested in doing polls.

I would love to see IREY beat this guy, have us buck traditional patterns and pick up seats in both houses in both our midterms...just to see the Left's collective head explode.

Also I think it is rare to see polls on any U.S. House race. Also with phones (especially cell phones) not easily tied to congressional districts it is hard to determine whether an interviewee is a constituent of a particular district.
