Champion Campaign: We're Up By Double Digits

Sen. Norma Champion's campaign spokesman says Champion leads Democrat Doug Harpool by double-digits in the race for State Senate, according to a Republican poll done just this week.

Spokesman Mike Barnett called to notify me of the poll Tuesday afternoon after reading our Insiders Poll that reported a Democratic survey showing Harpool within single digits of Champion.

Barnett questioned the Democratic survey's accuracy, and said their internal polling indicates that Champion in good shape. He said their campaign numbers show Champion with "over a 10-point lead," in a poll of 300 Springfield voters. He said the poll was taken over the last few days and had a margin of error of 5%.
