Emerson Poll: GOP Candidate Holds Slim Lead in W. Va. House Race

The Republican candidate for West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District, Carol Miller holds a slim lead over her Democratic opponent, Richard Ojeda, in the latest poll from Emerson College.

Emerson polled 328 people in the district from Oct. 28-31, and found that the majority, 52 percent, back Miller, while 45 percent support Ojeda in a district where President Donald Trump won 73 percent of the vote.

Miller has led Ojeda in most previous polls, according to RealClearPolitics, but Ojeda has consistently garnered more than 40 percent of voters in polls from the New York Times, Monmouth University and Emerson.

Thursday’s poll from Emerson surveyed 328 people from Oct. 28-31, and has a margin of error of +/- 5.5 percent.
