Today, Club for Growth PAC released poll results that show Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas has a significant lead in the Republican primary for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, should he decide to seek the nomination.

“Nick Freitas is well-positioned to win the Republican nomination in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District,” said Club for Growth PAC President David McIntosh. “We plan to invest more resources in Nick’s candidacy than in any of our previous House races.”

Key takeaways:

• Freitas has a strong, double-digit, lead on the ballot with 23% of voters already committed to voting for him, and
• Freitas has the highest name ID of any prospective Republican candidate in the district, including state senator and former statewide candidate Bryce Reeves.

The poll was conducted by WPA Intelligence (WPAi) for Club for Growth. WPAi conducted a poll of n = 400 likely special Republican primary election voters in Virginia CD 7. Respondents were contacted via live telephone interview on May 13-15, 2019 with 45% of the interviews conducted via cell phone. The survey has a margin of error of 4.9%. Sample was selected from the Virginia voter file with the probability of selection being equal to the probability of voting in the special election in WPAi’s turnout model for this race. Sample was stratified by age, gender, and geography to ensure accurate representation of the district.
