Alice Forgy Kerr is a strong GOP candidate in a Republican-leaning district.
In 2000, President Bush carried the Sixth District with 55.5 percent of the vote.
Ernie Fletcher also won the district during his recent gubernatorial race by 55.6 percent of the vote.
And, in previous congressional elections Fletcher consistently won the seat by solid margins garnering 53 percent in 1998, 53 percent again in 2000

There is only a 4% margin among likely voters. I suspect the relative support is also quite soft.
