Good news out of Il-13th for Betsy Londrigan and Joe Biden [View all]

a novice Londrigan came within 2500 votes of beating a multi-term GOP congressman in 2018. Now a seasoned campaigner, she is taking right to Davis and the energy is building for a wave election. If Biden wins Il-13th, this will be a wave election

A new poll conducted by GBAO Strategies shows Betsy Dirksen Londrigan in a statistical tie with Congressman Rodney Davis, 47 - 48%, showing an increasingly tight race in Illinois’ 13th Congressional District. At this time in 2018, Davis led the race by six points. Davis also held a six-point lead in the race at the beginning of this summer, but now Dirksen Londrigan has brought Davis’ support to under 50% and is in a position to overtake the vulnerable incumbent by November.

Donald Trump won the 13th District in 2016, but he now trails Vice President Biden 44 - 51%.
