A poll conducted in the Ca-48 district showed that I BEAT THE REPUBLICAN BY 6 POINTS if the voters know where we stand. The Ca-48 landscape is changing. The pll sampled 400 demographically balanced voters in the 48th district (including 47% Republicans). The margin of error is 5%. The first question asked of each person was, “Who would you vote for?” At the end of the poll, the pollster asked, “Now that you know more about both candidates, who would you vote for?”The results surprised the pollster, and led him to conclude I CAN WIN THIS ELECTION. On the “first ballot” the Republican was ahead of me 46% to 32%. On the “Second Ballot” after going through the issues, the response was staggering . . . 43% FOR ME AND 37% FOR THE REPUBLICANThe fact that my numbers moved so much is remarkable. The experts best hope for me was that I would be within 5 to 7 points of Campbell . . . no one thought I would overtake the incumbent – No one expected me to win.Imagine a truly competitive race for congress in South Orange County. Imagine a Republican on the run in our area. Imagine a fully funded campaign that meets the Republican blow for blow and wins.This viability poll was the first step. It identified issues that moved the voters. Now I need to conduct a messaging poll to craft the strongest on the issue that moved voters to my side. With that information, I will put a compelling, persuasive message into the right voters’ hands.The path to my victory is clear – I need a second poll that will cost $30,000.00. I have to raise the money to do that second poll. I need to raise $30,000.00 in 30 days to conduct the messaging poll. Can you help me?
