A new poll shows Republican congressional candidate Tom Barrett leading his Democrat opponent Curtis Hertel in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. The seat is currently held by U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), who is currently running for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat.
The new survey, which was conduced by Emerson College, found Barrett leading Hertel with 47 percent of the vote to 45 percent. Libertarian candidate L. Rachel Daily polled at one percent, while a sizable number of voters remain undecided at seven percent.
“Barrett has an advantage among independent voters in the district, who back him 47 percent over Hertel’s 41 percent, though 10 percent of independents are still undecided ahead of the election,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling said in the poll’s write-up.
