Today, SurveyUSA and a local Ohio ABC affiliate
released a poll on the Ohio 2nd Congressional race between Dr. Victoria Wulsin and the infamous Jean "Mean Jean" Schmidt.
The poll shows a statistical dead heat between the Good Doctor and the Vet Basher. Schmidt pulled 45%, Wulsin pulled 42%, and the margin of error? 4.5%.
What's more, the crosstabs are equally striking...
A full 12% of voters remain undecided, most of whom should break to the challenger in this anti-incumbent year. And the poll shows Wulsin leading Schmidt among Independent voters, 48% to 38%. Wulsin solidifies her base better than Schmidt, winning an impressive 86% of Democrats while Schmidt only draws 71% of Republicans - and 13% of the other R's have already decided they're voting Wulsin.
This is just one more sign that this race is winnable. Mean Jean is vulnerable (or, as fellow Republicans put it, "endangered") and all we need to do to blast through that margin of error is show people that Vic Wulsin makes a great alternative. If Vic can raise $100,000 over the next 10 days, we can get her name recognition high enough to win this race.
In other words, please help us now. Southern Ohio, John Murtha, and America will thank you in November.
