PA-10: DePasquale Poll: Perry Leads 50-47

A new internal poll shows a tight race in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District.

The survey commissioned by Dem hopeful Eugene DePasquale’s campaign and conducted by GBAO shows Rep. Scott Perry (R-York) by 3 points, 50% to 47%. That is within the poll’s margin of error. It interviewed 600 likely voters from May 28-31, a few days before the state’s primary, and has a ± 4% margin of error. The poll was first reported by the National Journal.
FiveThirtyEight doesn’t rate polling from GBAO, but the firm’s client page shows that they have represented a few other Democrats in Pennsylvania in the past, including DePasquale, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, and Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Philadelphia).

As with any internal poll, the results should be taken with a grain of salt. It is almost a month old, and its release coincides with the end of the second quarter fundraising period. Releasing polling numbers is a common fundraising tactic.
The DePasquale campaign says the results are proof that his message will resonate in the district.

“Eugene has spent his career fighting for Pennsylvania families, while Congressman Scott Perry has prioritized his special interest campaign contributors in DC,” said campaign manager Rachele Fortier. “When people learn about Eugene’s story they understand why the issues South Central Pennsylvanians are facing are so personal to him – from combating opioid abuse to lowering the cost of health care.”

Perry’s campaign said DePasquale’s closer-than-expected victory over Tom Brier in the Democratic primary showed his weakness.

DePasquale is a good person and Perry is a trump slimeball. I would love to see him gone and I don’t even live in his district. He loves to be on local tv, though, so I have his smug face shoved in my face.
