Recent Survey Conducted by FM3 Finds that Correa Dominates Nguyen by a Two-to-One Margin in the General 

PITTSBURG, CA—Today, the Lou Correa for Congress campaign released a poll showing that Correa’s strength in the primary has carried through to the general election. The poll, conducted by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3), with a sample size of 400, found that Correa leads Bao Nguyen by a two to one margin in Congressional District 46.

The memo reads:

"Lou Correa has built upon his strong first place June primary victory, in which he outpolled Nguyen by nearly 30-points, and continues to expand his base of support among the much larger November electorate. With slightly less than a month until Election Day, these survey results clearly demonstrate that Correa is well-positioned to win a decisive victory and be elected to Congress.
