Democrat Heather Beaven, a Navy vet who is running against incumbent U.S. Rep. John Mica, released a poll Wednesday that shows momentum for her leading up to the Nov. 2 general election.
Although the poll shows Mica has a 56 percent approval rating among voters (total poll sample was 400 voters with a 4.9 percent MOE), only 32 percent said he should be retained in office.
Beaven has been hammering on Mica for his pro-drilling politics in light of the oil spill in the Gulf.
The poll presents several election scenarios.
- After simple biographical descriptions were given of each candidate, voters were favoring Mica with 50 percent of the vote, compared to Beaven's 44 and 6 percent undecided.
- But after moderate message testing, Beaven had the lead: 47-43-10.
SEA Polling of Sarasota conducted the research between May 20 and 24.
