Hurt Leads All GOP Primary Opponents by Double Digits
Posts huge support from conservatives, leads all others in ballot support



Richmond, VA — Public Policy Polling released the second part of their much anticipated survey today, that of 400 likely Republican primary voters. The results showed that State Senator Robert Hurt held a convincing lead against all his primary opponents by at least 10 points. Hurt has strong leads among all key demographic groups including conservatives and seniors.

This survey comes after Public Policy Research conducted a general election survey which showed that Senator Hurt was the strongest Republican candidate to take on Tom Perriello, tying him in a head to head matchup 44-44, with a solid lead amongst independent voters.

"I am truly humbled by the level of support my campaign has received thus far" said Senator Hurt who is in Richmond fighting Democrat attempts to raise state taxes. "To have such a solid level of support from conservatives who know my long established record of opposing bigger government, higher taxes and pro-family policies is a crucial as our campaigns heat up across the 5th district. We are looking forward to taking those same positive conservative ideals to Washington" Senator Hurt concluded.

In its 400 Likely voter GOP primary survey, Senator Hurt leads all opponents by 10 points or better, and leads amongst all demographic subsets.
