Question about polling-
Can anyone direct me to a site that can give polling data on a particular Congressional district?

Here's my problem, staffers in my district say the district voters are against a public option, and I want to point to polling that may suguest otherwise.

Any tips? A little help?

1. There aren't numbers on that for every CD.
If you tell us which CD you're referring to, we can try to find if there is any relevant polling.

2. Ca18.
I'm in Blue Dog Cordozas district, one with 26% of the people uninsured and they tell me their phone calls are 2 to 1 against the public option.

I'm really feeling like I'm beating my head against the wall here, thanks.

4. This poll says that in California as a whole,

You could compare the percentage of people in CA-18 who voted for Obama to the percentage of people in California as a whole who voted for Obama, and then make a reasonable guess about the percentage of people in CA-18 who support the public option.

5. The representatives have good data for their own districts
You could try but it's very doubtful you'll see it. And the people who were polled had no idea it was for the congressional representative.
