🚨 POLL ALERT: Logan Within Margin

POLL ALERT: Logan Within Margin

October 15, 2024

A new poll from News 8, Emerson College Polling, and The Hill shows the race in CT-05 is a nail biter, with Republican challenger George Logan within the margin of error against Democrat incumbent Jahana Hayes.

Some interesting data points:

  • "Among likely voters, Hayes holds a three-point edge over Logan, 49% to 46%."
  • "Five percent of voters are undecided."
  • "Harris leads Trump, 48% to 47%, with 4% undecided."
  • "A majority of voters also said they believe Connecticut is headed in the wrong direction."
  • "Among independent voters, 59% believe the state is headed in the wrong direction, as opposed to 41% who believe the state is headed in the right direction."

Pull quote: "We are seeing a trend across the country, though, in states that went for President Biden-the states that we consider blue, so to speak-we do see a narrowing in some of these congressional districts where you might not otherwise expect that." Matt Taglia, senior director at Emerson College Polling.

"Rep. Hayes, call your office." - NRCC Spokeswoman Savannah Viar
