Hovde Surges in Polls

Political newcomer Eric Hovde continues to surge in polls.

Our campaign is continuing to gain momentum. 

Last week, we learned that we are in a statistical dead heat with four-term governor Tommy Thompson for the GOP nomination (http://www.ericforsenate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/HovdePollMemo5.9...). 

Then, yesterday, we learned that we lead the presumptive Democrat nominee, Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, by four points (http://www.dailykos.com/polling/2012/5/11/WI/123/MjpEP).

Despite never running for office before and campaigning for just two months, we are already well-positioned to defeat two career politicians who have spent their careers in government building up their name ID.

This is because our message, organization and resources are resonating with voters statewide, and folks across Wisconsin are ready for another citizen legislator with new ideas and a fresh perspective.
