Daily Kos Survey Contradicts Jennings Push Poll
New Democrat Poll Shows Buchanan with Double-Digit Lead, Jennings at Shockingly Low 31%, without Jan Schneider in the Poll

Tallahassee–A fresh poll released today by the liberal Daily Kos gives Rep. Vern Buchanan a 12-point lead over challenger Christine Jennings, disputing Jennings’ own bogus poll results and showing the Democrat trailing badly among key groups like independents and seniors. The poll showed Buchanan winning 43-31 percent.

The survey was conducted Sept. 23, 24 and 25 by Research 2000 of Rockville, MD, according to the Daily Kos website. Daily Kos runs a national left-wing website dedicated to electing Democrat candidates, but the poll the site released Sunday contradicted Jennings' bogus survey that she released to the press claiming she only trailed by four points. Neither the Jennings’ poll nor the Daily Kos poll included Jan Schneider, a former Democrat who will be on the ballot in November as an unaffiliated candidate.

The Daily Kos poll said Jennings was viewed unfavorably by voters in the 13th District by a margin of 38-32 percent. Additionally, the Daily Kos survey said Buchanan was winning the age 60 and over vote by a whopping 18 points, 46 to 28 percent. Seniors are considered the most reliable voters in an election. Additionally, the poll showed Buchanan was winning the independent vote 40-30 percent.

"Obviously Jennings conducted a phony push poll designed to produce a false result," said RPOF Communications Director Erin VanSickle. “Even the liberal Daily Kos disputes Jennings numbers."
