Mia Love Surges Ahead of Jim Matheson in Recent Poll

Ramped up attack ads from Matheson signal desperation

Saratoga Springs – A recent poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies indicates Mia Love has surged to a commanding 51-36% lead over Matheson. Mia’s message of reforming Washington is gaining widespread support from Utah voters, while Jim Matheson's support for Obama's policies have diminished his support for re-election.

With Mia Love surging among voters, Jim Matheson and his allies have resorted to false and personal attacks. Matheson and his Washington allies have begun a deeply negative campaign, attacking Mia Love, her family and Saratoga Springs. While voters have rejected these tactics, Jim Matheson stands by these admittedly false attacks.

Mayor Mia Love stated, “The support for my effort to change Washington and support Mitt Romney in Congress is encouraging. Sadly, Jim Matheson has turned to false attacks on my community and my family. Now is the time for Jim Matheson to stop his negative campaign. If Jim believes he wants to change politics, he should begin by changing the tone of his campaign."

Campaign Advisor Ivan DuBois said, “Unfortunately Matheson is playing the same old Washington games, letting his allies launch negative personal attacks and then claim he doesn’t care. With Jim Matheson’s support withering away, it’s really no wonder his campaign and Washington allies have become increasingly petty and desperate.”

Mayor Mia Love concluded, “This continued momentum and support is thanks to hundreds and thousands of Utahns who have joined our grassroots movement. We’re ready to take our country back. But our team will take nothing for granted and won’t let up in these final weeks – the stakes are too high, especially with Matheson and his Washington Democrat friends getting so desperate. My campaign will focus on the real issues as we continue to invite Utah voters to join us in fighting to restore the America we know and love.”

The poll indicates with just six weeks until election day that Jim Matheson is now in uncharted territory as a candidate. Jim has been unable to connect with voters and is flailing to find a way to keep his job.

Sounds good.I’ll bet that 51-36 is at least a bit outside the margin of error.Looks like Utah might go all “R” in November.

Joe Biden does not know what “articulate” is

Mia Love is likely to have a big effect on young black women

She will be mucho hated by the crazies of the Barack Carcass

She sure will not be looking for the American flag that the astronauts left on Mars

I was impressed with Mia at the GOP Convention with her speech and when she was on Mike Huckabee’s show. She is a real up and comer. Hope she blasts her Rat opponent out of the race.

Death treats??? Yikes! If she was a Rat this would be the headline on every major paper.And Osama would be saying "if I had another daughter she'd look like Mia".
