ID-GOV: Republican Brad Little up 38% to 28% over Paulette Jordan

ID-Gov: The Democratic pollster Clarity Campaign Labs has conducted a survey of Idaho's gubernatorial election for Idaho Voices for Change Now, and their poll gives Republican Lt. Gov. Brad Little a surprisingly modest 38-28 lead over Democrat Paulette Jordan. This is the first general election poll we've seen from anyone this cycle, so there’s little to indicate whether this poll is on the mark or not, but election observers widely believe the GOP is heavily favored in this deep-red state.

And zero Little stickers. It would be an upset for the ages.
