Today, State Sen. Debbie Halvorson's congressional campaign released internal polling that bodes very well for her 11th District bid. According to the survey, conducted in May by Azalone-Liszt Research, she is 11 points ahead of her Republican rival, cement magnate Marty Ozinga. Here are some more details:

- Halvorson leads Martin Ozinga by a 43% to 32% margin, with Green Party candidate Jason Wallace at 6%.

- Halvorson still has excellent expansion potential. Among undecided voters (18%) Democrats lead the generic ballot 33% to 19%.

- In order to solidify and expand her support, Halvorson will need the resources to match Ozinga’s ability to self-fund his campaign. When voters hear basic information about both candidates, Halvorson’s vote expands seven points and she leads Ozinga 50% to 39%.

- Although this is a Republican-held seat, Democrats lead 42% to 36% on the generic ballot. Two-thirds (67%) of the district have no primary voting history with either party, and among these unaffiliated voters Democrats lead 44% to 33% on the generic ballot. Democrats also hold a 41% to 35% advantage in partisan self-identification.
