WASHINGTON - Normally, Mike Sodrel doesn’t release internal polls. But he began distributing his latest one earlier this week after it was leaked to a blogger. The accident was timed well. As Sodrel is battling the perception that his campaign to regain his 9th CD seat is faltering, the poll indicates he is hanging in there.
A survey of 500 likely voters conducted on Sept. 8-9 by Wilson Research Strategies shows Democratic Rep. Baron Hill with 44 percent and Sodrel with 41 percent. A poll of 603 voters by Survey USA on Sept. 8-10 showed Hill with an 11-point lead.

Despite a growing drumbeat of doubts about Sodrel’s chances in a horrendous political climate for Republicans, the Wilson poll gives Sodrel a reason for hope. “To be in the margin of error this far out is the best shape I’ve been in - better than ‘04,” Sodrel said in an HPI interview.
