Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R) held a double-digit lead over Rep. Charlie Stenholm (D) in a new GOP poll.

Neugebauer received 49 percent to 38 percent for Stenholm in a hypothetical matchup in the new 19th district, where, after a tumultuous redistricting fight in the state, the two Members will square off this fall.

Public Opinion Strategies conducted the survey Jan. 26-27 of 400 likely voters. It had a 4.9 percent margin of error.

Neugebauer led the horse race despite being slightly less well-known in the district. Seventy-four percent of voters recognized Stenholm, who is completing his 13th term, compared to 69 percent who were familiar with Neugebauer, who has served since he won a special election last June. Both had 4-to-1 favorable/unfavorable ratios in the poll.

Other numbers in the poll, however, showed that Stenholm has a fighting chance in the West Texas seat.
