A huge thanks to Adam Day of Sycuan for sending the survey results and memo along. Some excerpts...
Survey Shows Duncan D. Hunter with Comfortable Lead In 52nd Congressional District Republican Primary Race
El Cajon, CA (May 12, 2008) - In a survey of 400 registered voters in the 52nd Congressional district, Duncan D. Hunter, son of current Congressman Duncan Hunter, enjoys a substantial lead over other candidates in the race with 79% voter support.
Sycuan frequently conducts public opinion polling on a wide range of regional issues and election topics and shares the results with the public. This survey of voters in the 52nd Congressional District, where Sycuan is located, also asked voters about key issues in the race. Winning the War on Terror and illegal immigration were the top priorities for voters in this congressional race.
A summary of the survey results from Dr. Richard Maullin of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates is attached.

According to our recent survey, Duncan D. Hunter holds a massive lead over the field seeking the Republican nomination in the 52nd Congressional District. Currently, Hunter receives nearly 80 percent of the vote, while no other candidate exceeds six percent, as shown below.
Duncan D. Hunter - 79% Brian Jones - 6% Bob Watkins - 2% Rick Powell - 2% Undecided - 11%
Additionally, three-fourths of voters are aware that the Duncan Hunter on the ballot is, in fact, the son of the incumbent Congressman with the same name. While voters are clear on who the candidate is, the residual name identification from his father is a tremendous advantage. When voters were asked whether they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Duncan Hunter, 83 percent said they had a favorable opinion, while only five percent said they had an unfavorable opinion. In fact, the percentage of voters who said they had a "very favorable" opinion of Hunter - 59 percent - is more than the total name identification of each of the other four candidates in the field. Hunter possesses a level of popularity and support from voters that is not likely to be overcome by a field of little-known opponents.

He has my vote.
Dang good news! But I hope he and his dad keep working their butts off.
Indeed! The only candidate on the ballot this election I feel damn good about voting for.
Thanks for some real good news today! :-)
Sounds really good to me.
Great news! One of the few candidates I’ve sent a donation to....:-)
I contributed to senior’s presidential campaign. What becomes of funds after a candidate drops out? If there was anything left I hope he can make it a contribution to his son.
I’m sure when he gets to DC he will sit on his hands just like the rest of the Republican represenatives. I am so disgusted and ashamed of my elected Republican leaders for let the ANWR drilling go down withiut a fight.
If he ‘sits on his hands’ like his father did the last 28 years then he will be the best thing in the congress, bar none.
Awesome!
Gives me some hope. My dog died today and i can use some positive information.
Excellent!
I’m so sorry about your dog. My thoughts are with you.
He can give the money to "other candidates" (such as his son)... Duncan D's got some cash in this race.
What? You mean that the California voters are finally figuring out that they don’t like their socialist, liberal tax-and-spend, illegal-loving government??? How absurd :-)
The fact that Hunter’s congressional district includes the Navy and Marines town of San Diego might have something to do with it. Were it anti-military San Francisco it would be a different story.
I had the honor of meeting Congressman Duncan Hunter and all I can say about this news is “Hip, Hip, Hooray!”
Joe
Third time's a charm! If a rat had a lead of this magnitude we would be told the fat lady has sung and we can all go home!
Yippeeeee for D2! $$$ well spent.
Ping ~~~~~
who the hell is that
Excellent.
I’m sorry to hear that. I know how painful it is to lose a cherished pet.
Thanks, that’s good news. The congress needs all the help it can get.
I’m so sorry!!
“who the hell is that”
Well, you sure wouldn’t know by watching the sell outs in the media would you? Hard to believe you still get your information that way. Voting for McCain, are ya?
Good news.
Thanks for something to feel good about after looking at this garbage dump of a presidential campaign.
Thanks for the ping!
D.D. Hunter will hit the ground running when he gets to D.C.
He knows what his father has accomplished and know he will continue his good work.
Also having served two tours in Iraq and one in Afgan. he has walked the walk and will take no crap from the Liberal anti war demagogues
I thought you’d be pleased. You’re right about congress needing help!!! The best we have right now are mostly leaving. D2 will be a welcome replacement for his dad.
You are most welcome SoCal! I knew y’all would get him elected. Keep up the good work. As you said, he will continue in his father’s footsteps.
Makes another Hunter’s Ranger proud!
Thanks for the ping.
I am very happy there will be a continuation of Hunter’s Conservatism in the House. I am content to believe that this apple did not fall far from the tree, and with easy access to his father, his effectiveness will be nearly immediate.
Big dittos!!!
Great news!
Thanks for the ping! Thank God! something to be excited about! Go Duncan D. Hunter!!
I doubt Dad Duncan had much left, he was operating on a shoestring. Next time, and I hope there is a next time, maybe more real conservatives will get behind him from the get go and he will have lots of money.
Excellent!
Good news! I wish we could vote for D1 this November against the Rats. Of course that is just wishful thinking but then that is all any of us have. The GOP will be wishing those McCain has stabbed in the back will vote for him. It is hard to reason any Republican getting beat by Obama but if anyone can pull it off, McCan’t can.
Thank you. It is hard to believe that she is gone.
Thank you for the PING, JAN. A great way to start a new day! Carry on, Duncan D! And may the country be blessed with Duncan L in an important new job.
Number one on the agenda: Begin to drill in ANWAR and lift injunctions against refineries! Get Government out of the private sector! The Hunters can do it!
Hi Doll, WB :)
Sorry to here about your dog, mine is on her last legs. I keep thinking that one of these days she just won’t wake up in the morning.
Thank you! :)
God never gives more than you can handle, he sure has a lot of faith in me.
Sometimes I think that he does it to test your mettle. When my little Phudd died my mettle was spun glass. For pity sake I made the dog business cards. I use one for my bookmark.
You will come to accept it. If you were as close to your Buckeye as I as to Phudd it will take some time but we knew they were going to pass first. We knew that we would face this day but we accepted this and enjoyed their years and hopefully we didn't disappoint them.
Please get another dog. It will not be a replacement but there are a lot of dogs that need a friend like you.
Take care and God bless.
