******Weekly Polling Update campaign '10**************************

[WI_DEM]

Oregon Senate: In the Senate race, incumbent Senator Ron Wyden continues to lead Republican challenger Jim Huffman comfortably. Rasmussen puts the number at 47%-37%, and Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall put it at 50%-32%.http://www.blueoregon.com/2010/06/more-polls-kitzhaber-wyden/

PA Senate – A month after the Pennsylvania primary, Joe Sestak and Pat Toomey are
dead even in the race to replace Arlen Specter in the U.S. Senate, at 41% each.
The last time PPP polled the contest, almost three months ago, Toomey held a 42-36 lead.
Sestak has made up the difference by consolidating his support among Democrats,
liberals, and moderates. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_PA_622.pdf

Texas Governor – Republicans have held the Texas governorship since George W. Bush
ousted the late Ann Richards 16 years ago, but it looks like Bush’s successor, Rick Perry,
is facing by far the closest contest with a Democratic challenger during that time. Since
PPP last polled the race exactly four months ago, former Houston Mayor Bill White has
brought incumbent Rick Perry from a 48-42 lead into a 43-43 tie. White has done that by
reversing a 47-36 Perry lead among independents to a 42-36 lead for himself.

Louisiana Senate: Five months away from the Louisiana Senatorial election Senator David Vitter is ahead of Democratic Congressman Charlie Melancon 46 to 37%. Vitter’s strength is partly due
to his name recognition. Vitter is well known throughout the state, only 11% of voters
have no opinion of the Senator.Far fewer Louisianans know of Melancon, 37% have yet to form an opinion of theCongressman. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_LA_616.pdf

New York Governor: Cuomo still has a 72 - 16 percent approval rating and leads in the general election:
58 - 26 percent over Republican Rick Lazio, compared to 55 - 26 percent April 13;
59 - 23 percent over Republican Carl Paladino, compared to 60 - 24 percent. Lazio tops Paladino in a Republican primary 46 - 17 percent, with 28 percent undecided.

New York Senate: U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand gets a 44 - 27 percent approval rating and a 37 - 23 percent favorability, with 39 percent who don't know enough about her to form an opinion.
She leads two largely unknown Republican challengers, 46 - 26 percent over Bruce Blakeman and 47 - 25 percent over David Malpass. For Blakeman, 87 percent don't know enough; for Malpass, the don't-know-enough is 90 percent. http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1318.xml?ReleaseID=1468

North Carolina Senate: The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Burr picking up 44% support while Marshall picks up 43%. Seven percent (7%) of voters would choose some other candidate and six percent (6%) are undecided.
These results mark the highest level of support for Marshall and the lowest support measured for Burr in surveys going back to February. Prior to the latest poll, Burr’s support ranged from 48% to 51%, while Marshall’s support fell in a 32% to 40% range.
Earlier this month, Burr held a 50% to 36% edge over Marshall.

PA Governor: Raleigh, N.C. – While yesterday’s release showed Joe Sestak as an even bet to retain a
Democratic seat in the U.S. Senate for Pennsylvania, it continues to look like the party
will not hold the governorship. Tom Corbett leads Dan Onorato, 45-35, after coming out
on top, 45-32, in PPP’s previous poll of the state in February.
Onorato’s problem is that he is still getting only 57% of his party’s support following the
primary. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_PA_623.pdf
