IN-03: Montagano Surging in New Poll

by: James L.

Cooper & Secrest for Mike Montagano (10/6-7, likely voters, 9/9-10 and April in parens):

Mike Montagano (D): 39 (37, 28)
Mark Souder (R-inc): 44 (50, 55)
William Larsen (L): 4
(MoE: ±4.4%)

Those are some very exciting numbers for Democrat Mike Montagano, who is running an excellent race against do-nothing GOP congressman Mark Souder. Remember, this is an R+16 district in the corner of Northeast Indiana -- a district that Bush carried by 37 points in 2004, but also one that Souder won by a pathetic 54-46 margin in 2006.

Here's the best nugget of the poll: Among those who have seen Montagano's ads, he leads Souder by 53-32. If he can continue to get his message out, he has a fighting chance in this deep red district.

Bluing???

Not necessarily bluing...we just have a really good candidate int he district and Souder is not horribly effective. Any DCCC money into the Fort Wayne market would make this race really tight...Montagano is young and charismatic and if he doesn't win this time he will be an excellent candidate in 2010.
