Edwards beating Van Hollen in INTERNAL Poll

Capitalizing "Internal" since it may be biased, but it's still interesting.

[link:http://marylandscramble.com|

Maryland Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards released a poll this week shows her ahead of her primary rival Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) by 5 points among state Democratic voters in the race for the Senate in 2016, according to her campaign.

Democratic pollster, Global Strategy Group, surveyed 600 likely Democratic voters by phone in the first week of August and found that 42 percent of respondents said they would support Edwards while 37 percent chose to back Van Hollen.

Ellen, I want you to hear it from me first -- we just released a new poll that shows us leading our establishment-backed opponent: 42-37. This is the first poll, a huge moment for my campaign to be the next Senator from Maryland.

But here’s the truth: I’m facing one of the most well-funded candidates in the country -- and when he sees these poll numbers he is going to open up and start spending the millions in his war chest to attack me. If we don’t have the resources to fight off the attacks and wave of money we’re about to face, this lead will not last.


It's great news (but for those of us always backing underdogs; costs a fortune!!!)
