Poll: Democrat has 11-point lead in Oregon special House race

{mosads}Cornilles performs better among middle-aged voters than Bonamici, but she sweeps voters who are younger than 30 or older than 45. The poll also showed a 21-point advantage among women for Bonamici, who has been actively supported by EMILY’s List, a PAC that raises money for female Democrats who favor abortion rights.

Bonamici and Cornilles are facing off in a Jan. 31 special election that will be conducted entirely through mail-in ballots.

The PPP poll of 979 likely voters was conducted Dec. 13-14 for Daily Kos and the Service Employees International Union, using automated telephone interviews. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
