Melancon Closing on Vitter


A new Anzalone Liszt Research (D) poll finds that Louisiana U.S. Senate candidate Charlie Melancon (D) continues to narrow the lead of Sen. David Vitter (R), now trailing by just three points, 48% to 45%. Last week Vitter lead by seven points.

Explaining the jump: "Undecided voters give Melancon a better job rating than they do Vitter - and are warming to Melancon as the election nears, while cooling on Vitter. Vitter's initial funding advantage allowed him to out-communicate Melancon for much of the campaign - but now that both candidates are on the air in a real way, Melancon is closing quickly."
