MI-03: Internal Democratic poll shows tight race in contest to replace Amash
A new internal poll shows a tight race brewing in Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District in the contest to replace outgoing Rep. Justin Amash (I).
The poll from Democrat Hillary Scholten's campaign, which has not been previously reported, shows her with 44 percent support among likely voters, compared with 42 percent for Republican Peter Meijer. The difference falls well within the survey’s margin of error, and 14 percent of voters remain undecided, indicating the race remains fluid in the final sprint to Election Day.
Likely voters in the Grand Rapids-area seat also favor a Democrat on the generic congressional ballot by a 3-point margin (45-42), while 13 percent are persuadable.
“As we head into the last six weeks of the election, it’s clear that Hillary’s independent-minded, service-oriented leadership is resonating with West Michigan voters," Wellesley Daniels, Scholten's campaign manager, said. "The issues matter. Voters in the district want a representative who will fight for affordable access to health care and clean drinking water — and that’s Hillary.”
