Charlie Brown (D) is one of my
favorite candidates this cycle, a Fighting Dem vying to represent one of the most beautiful districts in the country, on the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.
This has been solid Red country, with voter registration of 48 percent Republican, 30 percent Democrat. But the numbers can't capture the growing discontent in seemingly Red districts all over the country. And CA-04, with it's Abramoff-tainted incumbent John Doolittle, may soon be hitting the list of battleground seats.
Benenson Strategy Group (D) for Charlie Brown. 8/29-31. Likely voters. MoE 4.9% (No trend lines)
Doolittle (R) 41
Brown (D) 39
The poll gave Doolittle a 42/44 favorable/unfavorable rating. And the top three issues in the campaign? Iraq, healthcare, and the economy/jobs.
