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.
I found that after I sent Romney a donation after the "47%" remark. Now I get two emails a day.
oh yes..... Maxine Waters. True Black Caucus woman. argh.
Mia Love did an EXCELLENT job at the RNC convention. Her speech was a total knockout and her smile and personality are fabulous. She is currently mayor of her city. Glad to hear about not bumping up against Jason Chavetz. He’s another fabulous guy.
Keeping the faith, folks - yes - money to her AND to Michelle Bachman and/or Allen West. These are big targets that stretch Pelosi has her sights on for defeat.
post to FaceBook? I usually have to “save it” to my own computer, then upload it. Works slick!! Thanks - I think I’ll do just that, too. Great idea. Everyone should, especially those in her home state!!
She will be an excellent asset to our congress. Inch by inch, person by person - we need to weed out the libs and the crooks.
Excellent news. I wish there was more of it.
I like her and I hope she goes on to bigger and better after she is elected (which I believe she will be elected).
