Poll shows Lamb holds slight lead over Saccone a week before special election

Momentum appears to have shifted in favor of Democrat Conor Lamb in a special election race to represent a Western Pennsylvania congressional district that voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump and elected former GOP Congressman Tim Murphy in the past eight elections, according to recent polling.

A poll released Monday by Boston's Emerson College shows Lamb, 33, of Mt. Lebanon, with a 3 percentage-point lead over Republican state Rep. Rick Saccone, 60, of Elizabeth Township, in the March 13 special election race to replace Murphy, who resigned in October amid an extramarital scandal.

The lead is within the poll's 4.8 percentage-point confidence interval, which is similar to a margin of error, and 7 percent of voters remain undecided. But it's the first poll to put Lamb ahead in a district Trump won by 19 percentage points in 2016 and where Saccone was up two months ago by 12 percentage points.

Here we go again. Another seat about to be lost. Energized Democrat base + low information voters influenced by pop culture and Trumps low poll numbers + demoralized Republican base = Yet another Democrat victory.

November is going to be real bad for the Republicans and Trump. Just wait until the Democrat congress gets to control all the investigations inyo Trump. He’ll be gone by June 2019.

That’s certainly the way it looks right now. But things can change.

If it’s close the rats will steal it. Count on it.
