Joe McLaughlin's campaign is dismissing a poll that shows that U.S. Rep. Walter Jones is comfortably ahead in the Republican primary in the 3rd Congressional District.
Jones, a Farmville Republican, yesterday released the results of a poll by his campaign that showed him comfortably ahead of McLaughlin, 54-16 percent, in the GOP primary.
Doug Raymond, McLaughlin's campaign director, said a district-wide survey taken Feb. 7 for the McLaughlin campaign found Jones with a 43-41 lead over McLaughlin, reports Rob Christensen.
The survey of 500 likely voters was conducted by Pulse Opinion Research and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. The campaign made the survey available.

Re: McLaughlin poll shows tighter race
March 11, 2008 - 11:24am — WildgooseWell, what do you know, it seems like a Feb 7th Poll was kept out of the news until now. Wonder what that's about after all the stuff some weeks back about polling? This poll from the McLaughlin Campaign is more like what I'm hearing in Eastern North Carolina's 3rd District.
