From the Civitas Institute’s recent poll of the District 50 House race. H50 includes Caswell and Orange Counties. Note that Rep. Faison’s margin shrinks when the poll is narrowed from registered voters to likely voters. Note also there is still a large undecided block. The margin of error is +/-5.3 percent.

Democratic incumbent Bill Faison is leading opponent Rick Smith in the state House District 50 race, according to a new SurveyUSA poll released today by the Civitas Institute.

According to the poll of 350 registered voters in that district, comprised of Caswell and Orange counties, 48 percent of voters said they would vote for Faison if the election for state representative were held today. Thirty-nine percent said they would vote for Smith, and 13 percent said they are undecided.

When looking at voters who are most likely to vote in 2010, Faison’s lead slightly shrinks to 48 percent-42 percent.
