| Description | Ever since liberal 5th Congressional District candidate Carl Sciortino's TV ad featuring his Tea Party Republican father began airing in the Boston area and hit the Internet, it has kept people talking.
Well outside the Eastern Massachusetts district represented by Democrat Ed Markey for 37 years, the ad, which features openly-gay Sciortino "coming out" as a liberal Democrat, has been buzzed about. And internal polling conducted on behalf of the Sciortino campaign is showing that among voters in the district who've seen the ad, he is considered the Democratic frontrunner.
A survey of 555 likely Democratic primary voters in the district, conducted by Public Policy Polling, determined that Sciortino's support jumped from 5 percent among voters who had not seen the ad to 29 percent among people who did see it.
"There is a clear path to victory for Carl Sciortino," said Stephanie Taylor, Progressive Change Campaign Committee co-founder in a statement. "Every time this ad airs, and people see that Carl is the bold progressive in this race, his support grows. For grassroots progressives, it's clear that every penny donated at CarlForCongress.com to help air this ad will move him a giant step closer to victory." |
