Breaking News: KING 5/Survey USA Poll shows Koster with Big Lead

June 1, 2012

I wanted to pass along some great news today. According to a KING 5 poll conducted by SurveyUSA, I hold a commanding lead in the race for Congress in the newly drawn Congressional District One!    

Here is an excerpt and link to today's KING5.com article:  

In a survey of 456 likely primary voters in the 1st District, 46 percent said they would vote for Koster, according to the poll conducted by SurveyUSA. Burner was a distant second with 19 percent. All the other candidates were in single digits including Democrat Laura Rudeman - 6 percent; Democrat Suzan DelBene - 4 percent; Democrat Steve Hobbs - 4 percent; Larry Ishmael - 4 percent and Democrat Darshan Rauniyar - 1 percent.  Sixteen percent were undecided.

When talking about the general election, 661 registered voters were asked whether they would vote for Koster or Burner today. Koster leads Burner 48 percent to 39 percent. Koster also leads by double digits in head-to-head match ups against DelBene, Rudeman, Runiyar and Hobbs.

My friend, this is obviously great news for my campaign, and I am ecstatic to find our team so well positioned for victory at this juncture. However, the campaign season has just begun. We know we will be hearing very soon from our liberal opponents - and we know they will stop at nothing to defeat our efforts to bring our conservative message and vote to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Let me assure you that we have no intention of resting on our laurels. The Koster campaign team is rolling and we look forward to seeing many of you at the Grand Opening of our main headquarters next  Tuesday (click here for details).

Please take the time to make a donation online today! Our opponents are well funded. Your help NOW is critical as we MUST have the funds to answer back and not only defend our lead, but increase it!
