“Seeing how Ryan is ahead of virtually-unknown Nehlen, who only moved into the congressional district in 2014, by 49 percentage points...”scare” is not a very accurate term.”
As spectators, we all choose the polls we want to believe, but politicians that want to survive do not discount ANY OF THEM, or they very well may end up on K-Street, as Eric Cantor learned the hard way on June 14, 2014.
So, sorry, but this poll from just a week before the RNC had to scare the crap out of Ryan. Not only does it show him only up by 11 points, it also shows him way below the 50% level of support that is considered ‘comfortable’ for an incumbent.
A poll by Breitbart...which is currently barely more believable than The Onion...
