Six House race polls

[WI_DEM]

THE U.S. HOUSE

Delaware-At Large (Fairleigh Dickinson):
John Carney (D) 51%, Glen Urquhart (R) 36%


Florida-02 (National Research--R):
Doug Southerland (R) 46%, Rep. Allen Boyd (D) 30%


Pennsylvania-10 (Lycoming College):
Rep. Chris Carney (D) 43%, Tom Marino (R) 40%


Rhode Island-01 (Brown Univ.):
David Cicilline (D) 39%, John Loughlin (R) 21%, Others 6%


Rhode Island-02 (Brown Univ.):
Rep. Jim Langevin (D) 47%, Mark Zaccaria (R) 13%


Virginia-05 (LCV/SEIU--D):
Robert Hurt (R) 44%, Rep. Tom Perriello (D) 43%


THE ANALYSIS: The Florida internal has to be unsettling for Democrats, as longtime incumbent Allen Boyd has not been severely tested in several cycles. This is the second such GOP poll purporting to have a double-digit lead for Southerland. The silence from the Boyd side of the polling ledger is pretty troubling. Meanwhile, Chris Carney clings to a lead in the competitive 10th district in the Keystone State, and if the new poll contracted by two Dem-friendly interest groups is legit, Tom Perriello might not be dead after all. Given that SUSA has had him getting whaled on, and Dem polls have had it within the margin of error, it is apparent that someone is going to have a lot of 'splaining to do on November 3rd.

To see him close the gap this much is encouraging in light of his performing so far ahead of the polls last time. Here's a story referring to the earlier poll which had him within a point of Hurt.
