[DemocratSinceBirth]

A new Emerson College poll finds Pennsylvania’s 18th District Special Congressional election
with Conor Lamb at 48% and Republican Rick Saccone at 45%, 7% of likely voters are
undecided. The data was collected between March 1-3 and used an online and landline sample of
474 likely voters with a CI of +/- 4.8 percentage points. Full podcast listen here

This election has garnered a lot of voting excitement with 56% saying they are very excited to
vote, and 7% not excited at all. It’s voter excitement that might put Lamb over the top. When
asked about level of excitement among voters about the election, 63% of Lamb voters reported
being very excited compared to 53% of Saccone voters. Lamb voters also are paying more
attention to the race, with 47% reported paying a lot of attention, compared to 42% of Saccone
voters.

5. lamb need to see 50% and higher at this point with fewer undecided, otherwise

its really not that close. He has another week to hit trump hard (and his candidate) on trump related issues

taking social security and cutting medicare is always a good topic as well as trade tariffs running up US steel profits, not so much rehiring workers as their is no intent to make steel plentiful and lower the price...throw in fueling price increases to Pennsylvania voters....

7. You say that as if you know undecided voters are going to break overwhelmingly for Saccone

All the special elections over the past few months have been showing independents and undecided voters breaking strongly for Democrats.

6. Awesome to hear.

I’ve read in various places that people living in th district are saying the amount of yard signs for Lamb is unbelievable, there’s huge visible support for him in the district, and meanwhile the yard signs for Saccone are few and far between.

8. The enthisiasm for these special elections is evident. And Trump's stupid actions help a lot

I'm thinking that the anger and frustration over the Trump Presidency, State Houses and Congressional inaction is still fresh enough that people are anxious to act asap. For this reason many of these Special Elections are kicking Republican butt. It will be our collective JOB to ensure that this same momentum is in place come November.

13. I imagine mathematics and statistical estimation can often look like magic

I imagine mathematics and statistical estimation can often look like magic, especially if their knowledge of basic math is so far beneath a common standard.

11. This is exactly why Scott Walker refuses to allow special elections in Wisconsin.

He knows damned well that even in deep red Wisconsin, the way things are going now, Republicans would LOSE!

14. What kind of voting machines do they have????

Jon Ossoff "lost" his special election when he was mostly ahead in the polls and had an unbelievable ground game on unverifiable electronic voting machines.

There were also 40,000 new voter registrations that were just "lost."
