A mid-October internal poll from Rep. Tom Perriello’s campaign has the embattled incumbent down by one percentage point, including voters who are leaning his way.
Like the other polls we’ve seen in the 5th Congressional district contest, it has Perriello trailing his Republican challenger state Sen. Robert Hurt. The polls have varied wildly on the amount, however, from 25 points in early polls to 1 point in a poll published by The Hill in early October to 6 points in a Roanoke College poll released Oct. 18.
This new internal survey of likely voters shows Perriello with 46 percent, Hurt with 47 percent, independent candidate Jeffrey A. Clark with 3 percent and 4 percent undecided.
It was conducted by the Benenson Strategy Group, and surveyed 400 likely voters from Oct. 18-20. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.90 percentage points.
