Lakewood, Ohio September 30, 2004 Rep. Dennis Kucinichs voter support is eroding according to a poll recently conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide of Reston, Virginia. His Republican challenger, Edward F. Herman, significantly boosted his name identification and voter support over the past two months.
Among voters who have heard of both Ed Herman and Dennis Kucinich the ballot is 44% Ed Herman, 48% Dennis Kucinich, 4% Barbara Ferris (Independent) and 4% undecided.
This result shows that as voters become more aware of Ed Herman as a credible challenger, he has the ability to substantially increase his ballot standing and make this a competitive race, even with a third party candidate, said William Dalbec, Senior Research Executive and Political Consultancy Leader, of Wirthlin Worldwide, a leading opinion research firm.
Herman tripled his name recognition among Independents and Democrats and nearly doubled it among Republicans. Ed was known by only 15% of likely voters in July and now 36% are familiar with his name. Rep. Kucinich has experienced weakening of support in the two months since we last completed a survey, said Dalbec. Over the course of our work in the district, his re-elect has declined from 61% to 54%.
Dennis Kucinich's poor voting record has distanced him from voters Another finding showed Rep. Kucinichs unfavorables increased from 31% to 39%. We feel confident as the voters of the tenth district learn more about Rep. Kucinichs dismal voting record and inability to serve his constituents that his unfavorables will continue to increase, said Ryan Demro,
Ed Herman for Congress campaign manager.
Surprisingly, some of the regions where Rep. Kucinichs voter support falls below 50% include Parma, Parma Heights, Brooklyn Heights, Middleburg Heights, Brooklyn, Brookpark, Cuyahoga Heights, Garfield Heights, Newburgh Heights and Valley View. These areas, politically categorized as Reagan Democrat, have strongly supported Rep. Kucinich in the past.
The survey of likely 2004 voters in the 10th congressional district was conducted during the evening hours on September 26-27, 2004. The sample of voters has a margin of error of +/- 5.7%. The poll was paid for by the Ed Herman for Congress Campaign.
Im proud of our campaigns positive developments, said Herman. We are working hard to deliver the 10th district a full-time congressman who can help solve the challenges of Northeast Ohio.
Guffaw...
His flip on abortion and his Communist ties will do him in.
These should be exploited, if they haven't yet.
By the way, the milk carton was classic. Big play on the news following the Sean Penn speech.
Eastern European refugees from the war.
Not a group to piss off.
Plus, he has the biggest mosque in the state in his district - the one that has the now deported Imam.
He's been doing too much muslim pandering, and he's not getting local support via sympathetic media.
"The Dornan Effect."
Exactly what we need - More Gen-Xers and less Baby Boomers.
Plus he is a veteran of Afghanistan.

Is this one of the Ohio districts that we've had threads on concerning probable vote fraud?
If so, maybe the union thugs aren't doing it for the presidency but their local water carrier.
Ping!

Safeguarding the Family
Parents in Charge:
Protecting Children from Obscenity & Violence
Parents should be in charge of what their children see and hear at home. I support giving parents the ability to block violent, obscene and sexually explicit content from entering homes on the television and the computer screen.
Protecting the Unborn
Unborn babies are people just like you and me. They deserve the same legal protections we enjoy. I am a pro-life candidate.
Holding Up Marriage
Consenting adults are free to live their lives as they choose. Marriage, however, is a term reserved for the lawful union of one woman and one man.
It can be done. I know you all offed Fingerhut in 94.
I'd love to see Komrade Kucinich lose!
I don't get it. That a$$hole Kucinich is even farther left than Kerry!
Yes, Tim Ryan, is, unfortunately, my rep.
Where can I send this guy some campaign contributions?
Contributions here.
That would be so SCHWEET!
Whoa!! That's awesome! He'd certainly bring a better perspective on the War on Terror to the Congress!!
