A poll conducted by Magellan Strategies for Bobby Schilling’s congressional campaign has him leading U.S. Rep. Phil Hare 45 percent to 32 percent.
The automated survey was conducted July 12 and more than 700 responses were then weighted to reflect historic county turnouts for the November election. The result is supposed to have a statistical margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.
Hare’s campaign may question whether the poll was worded in a way that would tend to push responses in a specific direction. They also do not care for Magellan Strategies, which is considered a Republican firm.
The poll results still should be troubling for the incumbent. Even if this was not a toss-up polling unit, the Democrat leaning 17th District has been seen for the past eight years as a safe place for U.S. Rep. Lane Evans and now his successor. If a poll of any type can show a 13-point lead for a first-time GOP challenger, this represents a major sea change in the district’s politics.
How could anyone with a conscience vote for Phil Hare? He has not represented the American people well, voting for outrageous tax increases (Cap and Tax), a health care bill that will destroy the ‘quality of care’ to the average American, and leads America to socialism. Spending, spending spending! Pork! China Money borrowing YOU want that kind of money to be representing the USA? Our foes?
Those who want that kind of government, in invite you to head over the big waters of the Atlantic or visit our friends to the north and let them tell you ‘how they pay’ for the the ‘nanny states’!
Wake up and smell the deception of what they twist and turn that is going to be ‘good for you’!
SEE YOU IN NOVEMBER and tremble in your boots, Phil Hare! We’ve watched ‘both-sides’ of you and how you claim an old piece of writing of our forefathers, the Constitution of the United States is both old and doesn’t mean a thing! Enjoy your retirement!
