 Dan Debicella with his wife Alexandra | Norwalk, CT – Debicella for Congress today released the results of a new poll showing Dan Debicella in a dead heat with Jim Himes, while Dan continues gaining significant ground among key groups of voters. “Among likely voters, Dan has caught Jim Himes and the race is now a dead heat at 42 to 42 percent,” said Debicella spokeswoman Ashley Maagero. |
“As the mood of voters strongly trends Republican, Congressman Himes’ most recent decision to cast the deciding vote to adjourn Congress before voting on the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts has left Fairfield County families stranded again. It is clear Himes will continue to face an uphill battle against his own record, as key voting blocks keep breaking Dan’s way.”
Top Lines
* Dan Debicella and Jim Himes both garner 42% in our latest survey, with 14% undecided. This represents an improvement from our August poll, where Himes led Dan by a 42%-38% score. Thus, Himes has been stuck at 42% for over a month, despite his barrage of negative attacks against Dan.
* Dan leads 47%-28% among voters with no party affiliation.
* Dan leads 44%-42% among voters who are most likely to turn out.
* Among voters who have heard of both candidates, Dan leads 45%-42%. Among voters who have an opinion of both candidates, Dan leads 53%-38%.
* The Republican leads the generic ballot, 43%-41%.
* By a 50%-40% margin, voters prefer a Republican to provide a check and balance to the Speaker and the President, rather than a Democrat who will support their programs.
* The Bottom Line: For the ballot to be tied at this stage is a testament to Dan and the kind of candidate he is. He has clearly weathered a significant assault, courtesy of Himes and DCCC, and he is in a stronger position than ever.
* Beyond Dan’s strengths, is the fact that the overall national political environment favors Republicans, and actually continues to grow more strongly in our favor.
* National Research Inc. conducted a telephone survey in Connecticut’s 4th Congressional District on September 27-28, 2010. The survey was conducted among 300 likely voters and has a margin of error of +/- 5.66% in 95 out of 100 cases. 36% of the sample are registered Democrats, 34% are registered Republicans and 30% are registered unaffiliated/undeclared voters.

Building a new majority in the House of Representatives is the most direct route to bringing balance to a government that is spinning out of control on spending, taxes, and regulation. Jim Himes is part of the problem who consistently votes with Nancy Pelosi whenever she needs him. Dan Debicella is part of the solution because he is challenging a vulnerable freshman in a pivotal district in one of the most competitive election battles in the country. Whether or not you live and vote in Fairfield County, the vote in this district could have a big impact upon your family and your country.
Dan has a different set of values – in his own words, he is running for Congress "to restore the values of free enterprise and individual liberty to Washington. Fairfield County families want practical solutions on the economy, healthcare, and transportation. I will use my background as a businessman and a State Senator to implement new ideas to get our economy growing again and create jobs for our families".
Over vocal opposition from voters, the current Congress has pushed measures that are making our country poorer, more vulnerable, and less free. It is time to push back. We hope you will consider joining us. If you are interested in learning more about Dan, either check out his website ( http://www.debicella.com )
