CA-20: Fong tops Bourdeaux in Special Election Poll: Now that Assemblyman Vince Fong (R-Bakersfield) has successfully defended the Secretary of State’s lawsuit attempting to prevent him from running in the regular term and simultaneously for state Assembly with last week’s appellate court ruling, we now see favorable Fong survey data.
The Assemblyman placed first in the March 19th special election primary with 42.3% of the vote in a field of nine jungle primary candidates. Also advancing into the May 21st special general election is Tulare County Sheriff Mike Bourdeaux (R) who posted a 25.8% support figure. The special election winner will immediately be sworn into Congress and finish the term from which former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R) resigned. WPA Intelligence surveyed the 20th District (4/1-3; 400 CA-20 likely special election voters; live interview) and finds Mr. Fong leading Sheriff Bourdeaux by a 46-30% margin. He also has the advantage in three of the district’s four counties, Fresno, Kern, and Kings, while the latter man leads in his home of Tulare County. NJ-8: Rep. Menendez Trailing in Primary: A just released Global Strategy Group survey (4/1-4; 400 NJ-8 likely Democratic primary voters; live interview) finds freshman Rep. Rob Menendez (D-Jersey City), suffering the fallout from his father’s upcoming corruption trial, trailing Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla (D) by a 33-28% margin with businessman Kyle Jasey (D) attracting 7% of the vote. With Sen. Bob Menendez (D) facing a jury trial in early May, even more attention will be paid to the Menendez family though Congressman Menendez is not accused of any wrongdoing. The Senator’s favorability index in the 8th District, however, has dropped to 22:69% favorable to unfavorable according to the GSG poll. Rep. Menendez is in much better position but barely in positive territory at 38:34%. Mayor Bhalla, not as well known, ties the Congressman on the favorable point at 38% positive, but his negative number is only 8 percent. This June 4th primary challenge continues to be rated as a highly competitive contest. Comments are closed.
