Republican challenger Rick Berg continues to hold a modest lead over Democratic Congressman Earl Pomeroy in North Dakota's U.S. House race.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Berg earning 48% of the vote to Pomeroy’s 45%. One percent (1%) prefer some other candidate, while five percent (5%) are not sure.

Last month, Berg held a 53% to 44% lead.

In surveys dating back to February, Berg, a businessman and state legislator, has remained consistently ahead of the incumbent. His support has ranged from a low of 46% to a high of 53%. In those same surveys, Pomeroy’s support has remained in the narrow range of 43% to 46%.

Pomeroy, who is running for a 10th term, earns support from 91% of Democrats in the state, while 84% of Republicans favor Berg. Among voters not affiliated with either party, Pomeroy holds a slight 49% to 41% edge over his GOP challenger.
