A new Civitas poll has Democratic incumbent Rick Glazier of Fayetteville trailing Republican foe Jackie Warner by 10 percent:
According to the poll of 300 registered voters in that district, comprised of Cumberland County, 51 percent of voters said they would vote for Warner if the election for state representative were held today. Forty-one percent of voters said they would vote for Glazier, and 8 percent said they are undecided.
Democratic support for Glazier remains strong as 67 percent said they would vote for him if the election were today. Conversely, Warner has garnered the support of both Republican (80 percent-16 percent) and unaffiliated voters (60 percent-19 percent).
?While this is a leaning Democratic district, Glazier is undoubtedly in an uphill battle to hold onto his seat as Warner is appealing to a variety of voters,? said Civitas Institute Senior Legislative Analyst Chris Hayes.
Carolina Journal included the 45th Senate District in its list of second-tier legislative races this year.
