Greenberg Poll Shows
Leibham-Bilbray Race a Dead-Heat

The race for the 50th Congressional District is a statistical dead-heat, according to a survey done this week by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research. In a poll of 400 likely voters, 42 % chose Nick Leibham and 44% chose Congressman Brian Bilbray. The poll was commissioned by Leibham’s campaign – the margin of error is +/- 4.9%.

“Brian Bilbray is a disaster. People have figured out that he doesn’t belong in office and this poll speaks to that,” said Leibham. “He voted against the G.I. Bill and our Veterans. He has taken $1.2 Million in campaign contributions from Wall Street while America’s economy is in real serious trouble. People are just fed up.”
The poll shows that 50% of voters cite the economy and current financial crisis as their top issue. Of those voters, 52% favor Leibham and 34% favor Bilbray.
The poll also shows Senator Barack Obama leading Senator John McCain by a margin of 53-41. Earlier this week, the FEC reported that Leibham raised more money than Brian Bilbray in this fundraising quarter. Leibham raised $420,101 while Bilbray managed only $261,671. This is the 2nd straight quarter Leibham has raised more money than Bilbray.
