Contenders for the state’s 16th Congressional District reveal conflicting polls that claim they each are in the lead. Former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, in his efforts to replace U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo, has commissioned and released a poll that seems to suggest voters strongly prefer to see him in Congress, while State Representative Evan Low’s campaign says otherwise.
Liccardo’s poll showed him leading with 39% of voters, and Low netting only 28% of the votes. However, that still left about 26% of voters undecided. Low’s campaign countered with its own polling suggesting Liccardo only had a 30% to 29% lead, well within the margin of error, and 40% of the voters still making up their mind.
When presented with the conflicting polls, Liccardo’s campaign still maintained that every attempt to track the campaign showed the former Mayor in the lead. However, the campaigns also sparred over favorability and preference among Democrats. It remains to be seen how Republicans will impact the November race.
