* Democratic congressional candidate David Gill has a new testimonial ad…
That move probably shows the Republican ad barrage is working. He needs to build up his positives again.
* Two competing partisan polls have completely different results…
David Gill has a 9 percentage point lead among likely voters in the 13th Congressional District race, according to a poll paid for by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
But the campaign of Republican Rodney Davis said Tuesday that its polling gives Davis a 43 percent to 39 percent lead over Gill. The Davis poll, taken by the Virginia firm Public Opinion Strategies, was of 400 likely voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent, putting Davis’ lead within the margin of error.
The Republican poll gives independent John Hartman of Edwardsville a 10 percent share of the vote, and says that 8 percent are undecided. […]
An earlier Anzalone Liszt poll of the race, taken in September but never released publicly, reportedly showed the race a tie at 41 percent. And an earlier Public Opinion Strategies poll, taken in early October, also showed the race a tie. An August poll for the Gill campaign by Victoria Research gave the Democrat a 6-point lead, but all polls since have showed a narrower margin. A We Ask America poll of 1,253 likely voters earlier this month gave Davis a small lead.

Nice spot. The distortion at the beginning is a grabber.
I wouldn’t want to honk off that teacher, either.

hmmm..could be the nasty is working. but unfortunately, for us 13th repubs, positive pivots sometimes come from candidates in the lead.

Davis’ website could stand to have more content on the issues. Too much seems to be dedicated to asking for support but not enough telling you why. He only has 5 general issues listed while Gill has 21. Even if I don’t have the same view on all issues, I appreciate knowing where he stands.
