Congressman Patrick
Murphy (D-Phila.), who
was tagged with a
gloomy poll result last week, re-
ported a finding by a different
pollster today that should bring
a few smiles to the faces of his
campaign workers.
A Harstad Strategic Research
poll has Patrick Murphy up
three points over his opponent,
Mike Fitzpatrick. Murphy's lead
grows to five points among
those who said they will “defi-
nitely” vote in this election. He
enjoys an eight-point lead
among voters who cast ballots
in the 2006 elections.
This corresponds with a recent
Global Strategy Group poll,
which had Murphy up four
points, 47-43.
