CA-25: Battle for Key Congressional Seat Held by GOP is A Virtual Tie, Democratic Poll Says
A key congressional seat in California lost by Democrats during a special election earlier this year that they hope to regain this Fall is at a virtual tie, according to an internal Democratic poll obtained by Newsweek.
Democratic State Assemblywoman Christy Smith is trailing her GOP incumbent opponent, Rep. Mike Garcia, by just one point—45 percent to 46 percent—in California's 25th Congressional District.
The poll was conducted by the Democratic firm Global Strategy Group from August 26-30 among 400 likely voters. It has a margin of error or plus or minus 4.9 percent.
The seat is high on Democrats' radar, having lost it in a special election in May after Rep. Katie Hill (D) resigned over a sex scandal. And the district that encompasses Los Angeles and Ventura Counties is one that Hillary Clinton bested Donald Trump in by nearly seven points back in 2016, a seat that Democrats feel is theirs for the picking.
