A poll commissioned by Al Lawson's campaign shows him even with U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd in the Democratic primary for the 2nd Congressional District.
In the head-to-head match up, Lawson took 34.9 percent to Boyd's 30.7 percent, a slight lead that fell within the 4.6 percent margin of error, the results from The Research Network poll showed.
For Lawson, the Democratic leader in the Florida Senate, this a victory, his campaign manager Josh Robinson said, especially considering that Boyd has been running television ads for weeks.
More numbers below.
Boyd is showing potential to regain some ground though. His job approval is at 44.5 percent and favorability at 53.2 percent. Bad numbers of Boyd: his re-elect support is 39.3 percent to 46.8 percent opposed; his unfavorable is at 38.3 percent; and Lawson's favorability is at 47.5 percent and unfavorable at just 12.4 percent.
The poll was conducted Nov. 12 to Nov. 16 and interviewed 441 likely voters.
