DCCC Press:

Stender Leads Lance 40 - 31, Conservative Michael Hsing Gets 8 Percent

Linda StenderThe Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released a poll conducted by Beneson Strategy Group showing Linda Stender with a nine point lead over Leonard Lance in New Jersey's 7th congressional district.  A survey of 406 likely voters interviewed October 8-9 shows Stender with 40 percent of the vote to Leonard Lance's 31 percent and third party candidate Michael Hsing received 8 percent.  The poll has a 4.9 percent margin of error.

Despite the fact that President Bush solidly carried this district in 2004 (53 - 46 percent), Barack Obama has a 15 percent lead over John McCain (51 - 36 percent), the poll shows.

"With Leonard Lance's support for President Bush's failed economic agenda, and his support for denying women access to birth control, Lance has made a commitment to the status quo in this change election year," said Carrie James, regional press secretary at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.  "This poll shows Lance's pro-George Bush strategy is failing."
