The campaign of Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick has released the results of its first poll, showing the incumbent leading Democrat Christina Finello, 53 percent to 39 percent.
Fitzpatrick has a 59 percent favorable image.
Kate Constantini, spokeswoman for the Fitzpatrick campaign, released the following statement regarding the polling results:
“For those interested in where this campaign actually stands at the moment, here you go. Christina Finello’s fake push-polls, which were solely designed to lie to donors and help her fundraising, have been exposed, and it’s not going to get much better for her. Her entire campaign is focused on replacing the most independent Congressman in U.S. history with her far-left partisan agenda. First she lied to our community by breaking her pledge to refuse corporate PAC money, now she’s lied to our community about her polling in order to help her fundraising. She has lost all credibility.”
