Among likely voters surveyed, 51 percent support West and 42 percent back Murphy. Eight percent are undecided.

The same poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling PPP, found Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama in District 18 by a 50 percent to 45 percent margin.

The battle for the 18 th congressional district, which includes Martin, St. Lucie and northern Palm Beach counties, is one of the closest watched races in the country. The race has been characterized by a flood of advertising–most of which is coming from West who has outspent his Democratic challenger by 4-1.

    Bu…bu…but this is UNpossible!

    Conservatives only come in standard appliance white.

    And Americans HATE conservative ideas…

    Right!???!

    Thank God! I was concerned earlier this year. What with the redistricting. Saw a news clip yesterday that indicated several at risk Illinois seats. On Fox.

    Because I am on some other Democrat mailing list, I get emails from Murphy’s campaign and surrogates almost every day. They are certainly more optimistic than this poll shows, and within the last week (or two?) they have claimed to have a slight lead.

    Of course, the theme throughout all of the emails is that West is a liar (now where did that idea come from…??) and funded by radical outside and out of state groups. Karl Rove comes up from time to time, too.
